in the pool (Chainsaw Man)
Impressionistic rather than driving – rising arpeggios that mean light on water. Closer to Ravel than to an anime opening.

How difficult is it?
Wide arpeggios across the whole keyboard at a very quiet dynamic. The difficulty is in the sound, not the tempo.
The real hurdle
The arpeggios must not sparkle like an étude. They are texture, not line – even and without accent.
How long does it take?
Two to three months.
A rule of thumb, not a rule – how fast it goes depends on prior experience and practice time. This level is an assessment, not a measurement: most pieces exist in arrangements ranging from heavily simplified to concert level. The rating refers to the common arrangement.
Which instrument suits it?
Demands an instrument with fine gradation in the quiet range and clean pedalling. On simple keyboards everything blurs.
