Page51 #6, Gigue

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 51 Number 6, Gigue, performed by David Summer. This Gigue is similar in style to the previous duets that were entitled "Giga". The teacher should point out how several measures in the first section of the duet outline an F arpeggio. The second section features more of the same type of "question and answer" motives that are present in many of the previous duets. This device was popular in the baroque and is often used in modern pop and blues. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 84.
