What to listen for

A playful exchange
The upper line answers with short notes and rests while lower quarter notes keep going. Listen for the little decorated replies in the duet, even without the singers.

How hard is it

Level 6, estimated

The retained keyboard setting mixes upper rests, ornaments and continuous lower quarter notes, then expands across 130 encoded measures. Singing articulation and coordination make this an intermediate-to-advanced estimate, not a grade of the original opera.
