Gavotte from French Suite No. 5

The French Suites, BWV 812–817, are six suites which Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the clavier (harpsichord or clavichord) between the years of 1722 and 1725.[1] Although Suites Nos. 1 to 4 are typically dated to 1722, it is possible that the first was written somewhat earlier.[1]
