This is a gigue consisting of only 11 measures. It is divided into a first half and a second half. The first four measures of the first half can be separated into d minor and F major by dividing them into two-measure segments, and applying dynamics is not difficult.

The problem lies in the latter seven measures. While this may be the author's personal interpretation, measures 8 and 9 are strongly desired to be a pair, forming a descending sequence. Measures 6 and 7 also ideally form a pair, as this is an A minor section with a clear cadence.

The final measures, 10 and 11, should also be a pair, serving as the conclusion in D minor. This leaves only measure 5 floating. While forcibly combining measure 5 with measures 6-7 might feel unnatural, measure 5 is considered a bridge, transitioning from F major in beats 1-2, to C major in beats 3-4, and then modulating to A minor.

F major begins in measure 3, and in measure 5, it takes over that flow while increasing in volume. Measure 6 also features a crescendo, leading into measure 7 in A minor, which can be presented as a natural progression. From this point onward, please determine the dynamics in two-measure units.
