What to listen for
Unequal motion
One encoded part gives short chord gestures while the other begins with a rest and running sixteenth notes. Listen for how the two rhythms fit together inside the compact two-beat pulse.
How hard is it
The 173-measure source separates simultaneous piano material into two parts, with chords in one and running sixteenths in the other. Tuplets, ties and repeat endings add reading and coordination demands. This is an editorial advanced estimate.
