Tune of the Day: Gavotte by Montéclair
for two flutes
This gavotte “in the French style” is the fourth movement of the fifth of six Concerts à deux Flutes Traversières sans Basse by the French Baroque composer Michel Pignolet de Montéclair. Here the French word concert is a synonym of “suite”, and has nothing to do with the Italian concerto.
