Wolfgang A. Mozart, Courante from the Suite in C Major, K. 399/385
Mozart was deeply influenced by the styles of Bach and Handel, and unabashedly emulated the latter in his Suite in C Major, K. 399 (Vienna, probably 1782). The suite consists of three complete movements--an Ouverture, Allemande, and Courante--plus a fragmentary six-measure Sarabande. The Courante is heard here.
