Gavotte - by Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686-1750) from the Gavotte & Trio, Suite in A minor Tab and left hand fingering by Jim Kirby. Fingerings are the ones I use and am comfortable with. Numbers in brackets are suggested alternate fingerings, like so... [3] Feel free to use your own fingering. Time Signature - 2/2 Capital C with a line thru it. Count - 1 e & a 2 e & a ====== means let the note ring, or sustain. The first few measures have the count to get you going. The first measure is a pickup which is played at the end of the count. Count - ... 1 e & a 2 e da da. The "da da" are the first 2 notes, 1-3. Continue right into the 2nd measure and keep on going. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SECTION ONE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Allegro ma non tropo..
