How hard is it
The upper A turns through shorter notes while inner and lower voices repeat their quarter-note support. In the next measure the upper line settles into a longer note. Hear that settling as part of one phrase. Across 49 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth detail and 6 encoded voices. This supports estimated level 6, not teacher approval or a copied publisher grade. Expanded source length and literal performance returns are not a reference printed-bar count.
