About this work
D.783 bears the general title 18 German Dances and Ecossaises, but its exact structure is 16 German dances followed by 2 ecossaises. The edition also uses the word waltzes for the first group. These related labels do not alter the contents of the 6 pages.
The first 16 pieces explore a broad range of textures: chords, legato lines, syncopations, opposed registers and dynamic contrasts. The final 2 ecossaises reduce the form and restore a more direct spring. The first of them also corresponds to the number omitted from the D.781 file.
Organise the collection in small groups rather than as a uniform sequence of 18 openings. Mark repeats and changes of character before preparing the transition into the 2 ecossaises. Thick textures require released chords and a melody that remains identifiable.
