Anna Magdalena Piece Suggested by a Measure in Part II of the Aria to the Goldberg Variations

In measure 7 of the second part of the aria to the Goldberg Variations, there are three intervals of a 6th to end the measure. These are suggestive to me of a similar passage of the one of the pieces in the Anna Magdalena Notebook. What is this piece?

Pffffft. Isn’t it obvious?

The Polonaise in G minor, BWV Anh. 123. Right there they are, practically those same sixths. I had to sleep on it a few nights before it hit me. It wasn’t so obvious to me. :slight_smile:
