"Gavotte I and II" are two movements from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068. The gavotte is a lively dance in 4/4 time, characterized by its upbeat rhythm and moderate tempo. These movements are often performed together, showcasing the elegance and grace typical of the Baroque dance form. The first gavotte is followed by a contrasting second gavotte, which often features variations in instrumentation and dynamics. Both movements highlight the use of strings and woodwinds, creating a rich texture that is a hallmark of Bach's orchestral writing. They are frequently performed in concert settings and are popular in classical music repertoires.
