Tune of the Day: Allegro

 Flute duet by Georg Philipp Telemann

This is the second movement from Telemann's Sonata No. 2 in D major for two flutes/recorders, published by the great Baroque Composer himself in 1727. This movement is marked “Allegro” and should thus ideally be played at a quick, lively tempo. As usual, take your time, and don't try to play along with the MP3 recording straightaway.

Tune of the Day: Haydn's Serenade

 from String Quartet in F major, Op. 3, No. 5

This well-known string quartet, like many others, was long thought to be by Franz Joseph Haydn, but is now attributed to another scholar: Roman Hoffstetter, a Benedictine monk who admired the famous Austrian composer almost to the point of imitation.

Tune of the Day: Felix the Wrestler

 Traditional Irish jig

The earliest printing of this jig is in R.M. Levey's Dance Music of Ireland (1872), as an untitled jig. The title “Felix the Wrestler” is found in Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland (Chicago, 1903).

Scottish Great Highland Bagpiper G.S. McLennan picked up the tune while stationed in Ireland, although he called it “Biddy from Sligo”.

Tune of the Day: Gavotte

 from French Suite No. 5 in G major by J.S. Bach

This lighthearted gavotte is part of French Suite No. 5 in G major for harpsichord, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1722–1723.

Each of the six French Suites contains the four dance movements that Bach made standard for the genre: Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, and Gigue. In Suite No. 5 Bach inserts three movements between the Sarabande and Gigue. The first of these is the famous Gavotte, a sprightly, French ballroom dance in 2/2 meter with a modulation to the dominant key of D major at the end of the first half.
