A French dance movement in 3/8 or 9/8. The rhythm is almost always in quaver form. It begins on the last beat of an incomplete bar though the upbeat does not resolve until the end of each section (unlike the Bouree or Gavotte where there can be a resolution of the upbeat(s) every three or four bars. It is a light dance with a strong feeling of movement. Bach - 2 - 11.English Suite No.5 in e-moll, BWV 810 - V. Passepied I & II
