Level 8, estimated

Quick upper figures move around longer inner notes while the lower staff traces its own small pattern. Listen for the sustained inner line connecting one harmony to the next. Across 49 encoded source measures, the retained writing uses eighth, 16th, 32nd detail and 3 encoded voices. This supports estimated level 8, not teacher approval or a copied publisher grade. Expanded source length and literal performance returns are not a reference printed-bar count.
