G.P. Telemann was a German composer who represented late Baroque music.

He is known as the composer who wrote the most pieces in the history of classical music.

He studied European folk music and dance music and incorporated them into his compositions.

His creative drive never waned until his death at the age of 86, which was a long life for his time.

A gavotte is a traditional folk dance from a region of France,

and also a classical dance form derived from it.

It is a dance in moderate tempo, in 4/4 or 2/2 time.

It is characterized by beginning in the middle of a measure or with an anacrusis.

In C major, 2/2 time.

Although it briefly modulates to A minor in the middle section,

the piece generally progresses in a bright and charming C major.
