Instrumental Duet Cello,Instrumental Duet,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.802666 Composed by Henry Thornowitz. Arranged by Peet du Toit. Baroque. Score and parts. 2 pages. Peet du Toit #6333509. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802666). A gavotte is a dance of French peasant origin marked by the raising rather than sliding of the feet. 2 : a tune for the gavotte in moderately quick â´/â‚„ time. Although a gavotte is not intended to be faster than circa 66 b.p.m., it is possible that the 4/4 time could have been a 2/2 in metre - thus dancing music. The upbeats at the beginning of a section is meant to be somewhat slower (raising the feet) as an anticipation for the dance to follow (like an 'on-your-marks' effect). Enjoy!
