The Gavotte from Bach's French Suite No. 5 in G major, BWV 816. In cut time, each phrase starts on the half bar, and a bright tune in chords and eighth notes moves over a bass of steady quarters and eighths. Both halves are repeated. This edition follows Franz Espagne's Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1865.
