Gavotte I & II from Cello Suite No. 5, BWV 1011

from: J.S. Bach - Chamber Music - Suites for Cello Solo

Originally in c minor, transposed here to d. This version of Gavotte I and II is meant to stand alone without accompaniment, the recorder playing grace notes to simulate the multiple stops found in the original. Slurs are added, but due to the lack of clarity in the earliest and most important source, they should not be taken overly seriously. Note that we also have a version with a keyboard part.
