Page27 #3, Gigue

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 27 Number 3, performed by David Summer. This gigue is in the same style as the previous two duets. The "question and answer" sections in the last part of the duet often present a rhythmic challenge for a student. The teacher needs to emphasize counting the 3 beats that make up the dotted quarter note plus the 2 that make up the tied quarter note in the next measure. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 80.
