内容説明
This facsimile edition of a hitherto unpublished manuscript reveals a beautiful workbook of impeccable penmanship by an early nineteenth-century dancing master. The title page reads Dance Book T B. 1826.Included among the more than thirty ballroom and theater dances are examples of the shauntreuse, allemande, hornpipe, quadrille, and waltz. There are also rare dances with descriptive titles such as Pas Seul, Pas Deux, Pas Trois d'Eggville, Russian Dance,Vestris Gavotte, and Cossack Dance.
The importance of the manuscript to both musicians and dancers cannot be overestimated . It includes the earliest known full-length choreographed waltz for two that, through its intricate arm positions, shows the influence of the eighteenth-century contredanse allemande. Photographed in New Zealand by John Casey.
The published volume unfortunately contains some miscropped images; a corrigenda leaflet can be downloaded here.
