What to listen for
A melody above repeated chords
The upper phrase mixes eighth notes and small sixteenth-note turns above repeated lower chords. Keep hearing the phrase through those tiny decorations while the accompaniment holds the six-eight pulse.
How hard is it
Across 31 measures the opening alternates upper eighths and sixteenths over repeated lower triads, including chromatic changes. Balancing the melody and chord pulse supports this lower-intermediate estimate, not a certified syllabus grade.
