Product Details


Product Description

Scored for 2 Violins, Viola and Violoncello. There is an alternative part for Violin 3 (Viola) and an optional part for Contrabass so the piece may be performed by a String Orchestra.

This piece is excellent for practising ensemble skills as well as for filling that small gap in your program with something light and entertaining. You can use as much rubato as you like.

François-Joseph Gossec (1734 1829) was a French composer of operas, string quartets, symphonies, and choral works. His Gavotte, from his opera Rosine, ou L'épouse abandonnée (1786), remains familiar in popular culture because Carl Stalling and Charles M. Jones used arrangements of it in several Warner Brothers cartoons. Arguably the most notable of these is Porky Pig's dance to an uncredited version of Gossec's Gavotte in Jones Porky's Cafe (1942).
