History
Sonata in C minor, K. 526 offers a concentrated keyboard argument. The first upper gesture alternates short C and D figures, with tiny rests and an inner voice. The next measure opens into longer notes. Hear that change of scale rather than rushing every gesture equally.

What to listen for
Quick detail before a longer line
The first upper gesture alternates short C and D figures, with tiny rests and an inner voice. The next measure opens into longer notes. Hear that change of scale rather than rushing every gesture equally.
How hard is it
The opening already mixes sixteenth, thirty-second and sixty-fourth notes with rests and an inner voice. Across 198 encoded measures the source uses several voices, tuplets and ties. Clarity through that detail supports an advanced estimate.
