...except that this is not Jean-Baptiste LULLY, but Jean-Baptiste LOEILLET - and to add to the confusion there were two of those (cousins) "John Loeillet of London" (1680-1730) (who probably wrote this) and "Loeillet de Gant" (1688-~1720") (who probably didn't).

The Lully/Loeillet(s) confusion can be found in many publications of the late 19th century and afterwards.

Thank you, Alfred, for posting the well known Prokofiev Gavotte and the less well know Lully. Kudos also to Fred for likely naming the correct composer. I was only vaguely aware that there was more than one "Lully". I like that PWM wrote out the ornamentation for us non students of French baroque style.

They missed the notes inegales, though

Thank you very much for alerting us (once again as I remember). --- Regarding Couperin and Rameau, we seem to be on safer grounds. --- Regarding ornamentation I will consult my copy of Ferguson's (yes, gay Howy) excellent „Keyboard interpretation“. --- Imho it is the British who managed to invent the most idiosyncratic signs for ornaments .

The „Lully gawot“ is in fact neither by Lully nor by Loeillet I or Loeillet II
but by Marin MARAIS (1656-1728). It is a (19th century?) arrangement of No. 24 from
„Pièces de viole, 1ere livre“ for Viola da gamba and Continuo:

I'm speechless on this one and best that I remain so.
