Figuring out Minuet #3

Figured out half a song last night. (listen to CD/video, trial and error on the violin to find correct fingerings, jot down numbers & strings). Need to finish figuring out the rest of it, and then go catch the Ups & Downs bowing actions and look out for unusual high or low 2s & 3s. Now that I'm looking at the score, I think there're lots of hints on double bows as well as perhaps the high notes are marked with a pound sign #, anyway, it's a consolation this song is less intimidating. Then, it's for me to learn playing it before moving on to Kiki. So this will be like four weeks in the making if time permits.
Minuet #3 is a catchy tune because it has a somewhat bigger commercial exposure, as in it is not totally foreign for a layperson. If you hear it, you might go - "Oh.... I've heard this tune before"  like that.
