Gavotte II is in general easier and shorter of the two. Gavotte 2 features the alternating finger (mi) plucking technique. Gavotte is a French dance during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is part of the optional dances of the Baroque Suite. Technique. Bar 3,14,18 - Right Hand 6 running notes (mi-mi-mi) Part B has some tricky fingering. Good news is Part B is only played once in Gavotte 2. Part A is played 5 times and Part C is played 2 times. The order is AA-BA-CA-CA. Tip Besides Part B's fingering, practice on the alternating fingering. After that you can go learn gavotte 1 which gives good practice to your pull offs or if you know both Gavottes already, even better! Now you can play the entire Gavotte together.
