What to listen for
The running line changes register
The lower staff runs upward in sixteenths beneath longer upper chords. In the next measure the upper staff takes over the fast motion. Listen for an even thread as the busy line changes place.
How hard is it
The41-measure source exchanges scalar sixteenth-note writing between registers while the other layer holds chords or intervals. Even motion, independent accompaniment and phrase balance support an intermediate estimate, not a copied provider complexity tag.
