Daniel Auber - Gigue

[steltz]

I have found an anonymously typeset transcription of this piece by Auber:

and in order to ascertain copyright status, I am trying to ascertain source and transcriber -- it exists in a version for violin/piano, and also clarinet/piano. I also found a version on YouTube for balalaika. WorldCat has no entries for a "Gigue" as such by Auber.

Auber was primarily an opera composer, but the French operas usually had long dance sequences in them, so many of them have dances and ballets. It is very possible that this is from one of these ballets. However, I can't find which one.

On the other hand, he wrote a small amount of instrumental music, mostly for cello. This could also come from that repertoire.

So, do any cellists or French opera/ballet fundis recognize this and know what it's from?

In spite of what says the video title, it is not a gigue by Daniel Auber but by Jacques Aubert.

The sought after gigue is probably the final movement of one of the several sonates he wrote for "violon et basse continue".
