@@squeezersully7 Never recorded a dance of Playford’s Dancing Master until now. I like many of these old dances and enjoy the recordings represented at Mandolin Cafè. Recently I work on the music of the 18th century dance collection Dahlhoff.

@@squeezersully7 The Dahlhoff Collection is a comprehensive German dance collection from the 18th century, which is owned by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz. It comprises around 800 melodies on around 1400 pages in ten volumes. Origin: Between 1767 and 1799, the Dahlhoff family collected various folk dances and cataloged them. The Dahlhoff family was a sexton's family in the parish of Dinker [in Westphalia]. The recorded dances also originate from a radius of around 500 km in this region. The collection remained unnoticed for around 200 years until it was digitized and published by the Berlin State Library in 2012. The Dahlhoff Collection contains traditional German folk dance music, which also documents the musical influence from other regions (e.g. "Bayerische", "Polnischer Tantz", "Englisch Offeria"). The collection is not a musicological documentation, but a collection of everyday use, which thus documents folk music as it is lived. [source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammlung_Dahlhoff] Some folk musicians bring these dances to live nowadays. I recommend YT-channels like TradTanzMusik with a special playlist for Dahlhoff: kzread.info/head/PL8T34eFsvHmJzU9zJfW5TOXb_jLNFH8Oh Simon Wascher provides abc-notation of all dances: simonwascher.info/TradArchiv/Dahlhoff/ Would be a pleasure to have you performing one of the Dahlhoff dances!
