What to listen for
A bare opening gesture
The opening repeats an upper A and then falls through separated eighth notes while the lower staff rests. Hear the small gesture clearly before the fuller texture arrives.
How hard is it
The 310 encoded-measure source begins with separated upper eighth notes and later carries several simultaneous voices, tuplets, ties and local meter changes. Its sustained reading and coordination demands support an advanced estimate.
