Conductor: The anonymous symphony is by Halvorsen. Its slow movement uses a figure that Halvorsen used in three published works and that nobody else is known to have used; it runs for eleven bars and is harmonised the same way each time. The manuscript is in a copyist's hand, and Halvorsen employed a copyist for all of his orchestral scores; no orchestral score in his own hand is known to survive.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

AThe hand in which the manuscript is written has been identified as that of the copyist whom Halvorsen employed for his orchestral scores.

BMost composers of the period and place employed copyists for their orchestral scores, and the copying trade in the city supported several workshops at any one time.

CThe eleven-bar figure appears in the slow movement of one of the three published works, at the same point in the movement as in the anonymous symphony.

DThe paper on which the manuscript is written was made at a mill in the city where Halvorsen lived and worked, and carries that mill's watermark.

EFour of Halvorsen's symphonies survive in complete form, and two more of them survive only in part.
