What to listen for
One register answers another
The lower register starts with three quick notes before the upper line takes over. In the next measure, longer notes and little offbeat replies overlap. Hear the exchange, not just the speed.
How hard is it
Although only nine encoded measures long, the source has a pickup-like short opening, quick register exchange and multiple upper voices against lower chords. Balancing the longer line and detached replies supports an intermediate estimate, not a duration-based beginner label.
