I'd like you to now come up with a short melody for use in a little keyboard minuet you're going to write for me.

I think we can come back to harmonic analysis later; I'd much rather see you compose something and then work with it.

I want you to have a strong sense of implied harmony in this minuet, perhaps even write the intended chords of the harmony out alongside the melody. I only want up until the first repeat for now - and it is up to you where to modulate, but I would like you to modulate to the dominant before you reach the first repeat.

If you're not 100% sure on modulations, just write some sketches for a melody, and then I will discuss it with you.

No deadline, so please take your time
