# Identification probe result

The dossier describes a two-voice keyboard movement in D major, 3/4 time, in binary form (the metadata places a thematic return 72 quarter notes into a 141-quarter-note second part). The writing is clearly mid-eighteenth-century galant/late-Baroque: a treble melody with inverted mordents and a trill over a slower harmonic bass (E001–E008), a descending stepwise cadence figure G–F#–E–D–C# (E002, E016), tonicizations of B minor via A# and D# sonorities (E005, E012, E015), a written-out triplet descent (E012), and broken hand-alternation figuration in the continuation window (E023–E026) that is idiomatic of Scarlatti-style sonatas or a Bach-circle minuet/sarabande. However, none of these features, individually or together, pins down one specific work for me with defensible confidence. Several candidates crossed my mind (a Scarlatti D-major sonata, a movement from a Bach partita), but I cannot verify any of them against remembered note content, so naming one would be a guess dressed up as recognition.

## Limitations

Identification rests solely on symbolic content in one case file; no audio, title, or external reference was available or consulted. My stylistic attribution depends on memorized repertoire knowledge, which is unreliable at the level of individual minuet-type movements — thousands of galant D-major 3/4 binary movements share these traits. The confidence value reflects only the style-family judgment, not any specific-work hypothesis. Candidate names that occurred to me were withheld because I could not corroborate them against the notated pitches, and the protocol forbids presenting low-confidence guesses as recognition.
