History

A spare opening note leaves room before a more resolute character appears. The dance does not need a heavy accent on every beat to feel grounded.

Hold the opening longer note fully and carry its quiet start into the later texture.

Level 6, estimated

Sparse opening values precede fuller dance writing, repeats and changing expressive instructions.
