# Analysis result

The candidate return at W3 restates the opening theme's first measure note-for-note at the tonic D, in the original unaccompanied texture, and later thematic modules recur at original pitch in the continuation window. Harmonic preparation is the weakest element: the pre-candidate window cadences on B minor (vi) with a caesura rather than on the home dominant. Overall, the evidence favors a tonic double return with a recomposed continuation.

## Run metadata

- Analyst model: claude-fable-5 (Anthropic), running in a Claude agent harness.
- Sampling settings (temperature, etc.): unknown / not observable.
- Tools and external data: file, shell, and web tools exist in the harness but none were used; the analysis relies solely on the embedded dossier.
- No other annotators' labels, source scholarship, or identity metadata were accessed.

      "reason": "Observed: cadential trill over F-sharp bass (E013) resolves to a B-minor arpeggio that thins to rests (E014). Inference: clear rhetorical caesura, but the cadence targets vi, not the home dominant, so harmonic preparation is indirect."

## Limitations

Missing dossier evidence: no dynamics, tempo, or articulation marks appear anywhere, so rhetorical emphasis rests on texture and rests alone; no exposition-closing or early-second-part material is supplied, so the vi-cadence approach cannot be compared with the movement's actual developmental trajectory; no repeat barlines confirm the presumed binary/sonata layout. Analytical uncertainty: the recomposed measures after the candidate admit a false-recapitulation reading, tempered by the at-pitch return of later opening material; the proportional judgment depends entirely on the supplied elapsed/total durations. A general stylistic familiarity was reported via `suspected_recognition` and was not used as evidence.
