GavotteSuite in G major · BWV 816 · IV

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Difficulty 4
  • G major
  • 1 min
  • 26 measures

The Gavotte from Bach's French Suite No. 5, BWV 816, the fourth movement of the set. A bright dance in which each phrase enters on the half bar, carrying a tune touched with rolled chords over a steadily walking bass. The tradition of calling this set the French Suites probably grew from surviving manuscript copies that bore a French title.
