ChatGPT4o writes as follows (please note that it may not be accurate):
Emanuel Bachʼs character piece "La Gause" (Wq. 117-37) is a brilliant and elegant work included in the 1765 collection of character pieces. It is set in F major, characterized by its lively rhythm and bright melody, showcasing a refined aspect of the empfindsamer Stil. The title is thought to reflect a specific person or theme, combining approachability with elegance. Despite its concise structure, it demands nuanced expressiveness, testing the performerʼs skill and sensitivity. It was highly regarded as salon music of the time and was well-received by audiences.

According to the commentary by Darrell M. Berg on Miklós Spányi's CD (BIS-CD-1087) (translated by ChatGPT4o):

This simple binary form piece is listed as Bachʼs first character piece in his Nachlaß-Verzeichnis (estate catalog). The piece is characterized by a melody with many syncopations and wide leaps, which are repeated in an embellished form. Although unpublished, this work circulated widely. The "original" is not identified, and while there were several individuals named "Gause" in Berlin, no records have been found indicating a connection with Bach.
