COURT BEAUTIES GAVOTTE https://cliffordessex.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Court-Beauties-for-mp3.mp3 This is one of Joe Morley’s early compositions with the fourth string tuned to D. It was probably written in the early 1890s when he was still playing a six or seven stringed banjo with one of the bass strings permanently tuned to D. As its title suggests, it is a gentle piece and should be played delicately. Morley marked it ‘Moderato con grazia’ and added suitable dynamics, — something missing from many of his later solos. The three movements are in C, G and F major and, although there are some unusual (but obviously intentional) chords, it can be played and enjoyed by players of all abilities.
