Selected Duets for Flute, Page 56 Number 13, Gavotte, performed by David Summer. This Gavotte is by the Italian Baroque composer Arcangelo Corelli. Corelli was also an accomplished violinist and this may very well have been originally written for 2 violins. Corelli also composed many works for brass ensemble. This duet can prove challenging for a student because the rhythm in the second flute part is so different from that in the first flute part and because of the closely repeated echo sections in the second half of the duet. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 92.
