A brief low-register pickup launches a broad, chord-rich statement. Notice how the force of the melody depends on clear layers, not simply on playing every note loudly.

How hard is it
Level 9, estimated
The opening full measure combines sixteenth-note motion with multiple chord members in two encoded voices. Dense tuplets and sustained dramatic balance make the proposed level advanced.
