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.
