Looks like a sketch of a sonata. Begins reasonably enough, in C clef on lowest line, though looks like Bflat missing from key sig. After double barline, looks like Italian-style written out ornaments, but then goes into 3/4. Below sketches is another passage (now in treble clef?) written ‘passage’

Looks like a piece based on the passamezzo antico, but the melody has a lop-sided 7-bar structure, to which only some of the variations correspond. After the final double barline, there is what looks like a sketch for another variation.
