The gavotte (also gavot or gavote) was originally a
dance. The Gavot people of the Pays de Gap region of
Dauphiné, France first introduced the dance which they
used for folk dancing. The music is in 4/4 or 2/2 time
and has a moderate tempo. A distinctive feature of the
18th-century French court gavotte is that the phrases
begin in the middle of the bar. In the Baroque era
composers such as Handel and Bach added the gavotte to
suites and partitas.
