Handel Gavotte Audio
This Gavotte by George Fredric Handel is a quick German dance in AABB format. There are clear dynamics marked for these short phrases. Demand extreme difference between Piano and Forte. Warm up with a two octave E minor scale using directives like: “Play so quietly I can barely hear you” and “Push through the string! Loud with good tone!”. This piece is arranged for all Level 4 players and every student must have a good command of first position notes and also confidence changing between thumb stroke and alternation.
