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.
