To determine whether the interval between the first two notes is stepwise or a leap, you'll need to consider the distance between the two notes on the musical scale.
- Stepwise refers to notes that are adjacent to each other in pitch, such as from C to D or E to F.
- Leap refers to a larger interval, such as from C to E or C to G.
If the first two notes are adjacent (for example, C to D), then the interval is stepwise. If there's a larger gap between them (like C to E), then it is a leap.
Without the specific musical example to analyze, I cannot offer a definitive answer. Please check the distances between the first two notes based on this criteria.
