Range – Low G to D just above staff
Endurance- M
Finger technique- M

If you are looking for a typical Gavotte, this isn’t it.
If you are looking for a beautiful, slow, smooth trio with more passion than a soap opera, this is the one. I think this has much more appeal at this tempo than what Handel first had in mind. If your second part player does not have a good high D, just drop it down an octave on beat three of measure 29 and move on. This is a very unusual handling of this well known dance piece and should be well received by your listeners.
