B. slow-fast-slow-fast.
C. slow-fast-slow.
D. fast-slow-fast-slow.

C. slow-fast-slow.

Explanation:

A. is not the right answer. This form was not one of Lully’s overtures.

B. is not the correct answer. The form of overture didn’t go like this and didn’t have four parts.

C. is the correct answer. Jean-Baptiste Lully was the one to introduce the so-called French overture. The form would open with a slow section, turning into the faster rhythm, and ending usually with the third, slower section. This section could sometimes be the repetition of the first one. Lully first used this overture as an opening to his ballet. Later it has been used in many operas and compositions, including those by Bach.

D. is incorrect. The form of Lully’s French overture wasn’t this one.
