Nocturne in C-sharp minor. Repeated upper chords change just one of their higher notes at a time in the opening. Listen for that small chromatic motion inside the rich sound, keeping the slow compound pulse connected.

Colour changes inside the chords

How hard is it
The 68-measure main part spans three staves, dense changing chords, simultaneous voices and local meter/tempo changes. Layered balance and sustained phrasing support an advanced estimate. Supplementary P2 carries 21 pitched notes only in source measures 58 to 61; its function needs a targeted importer check.
