    A Musette is a type of French bagpipe which was popular in the 17th and 18th

    centuries. Bagpipes make a 'drone'-a continuous note heard throughout the


    piece-which is imitated here by the bass A. Use a rest stroke for the beginning
    and ending sections, and free strokes in the middle (bars 9-16). Pont. (or
    'ponticello') means play near the bridge; nut. is back to the natural sound.

    Pont.
