All the dances mentioned by Anne Thorn, have been “created”, and together with all those hitherto listed as “unpublished” they have been added to the publication “The Magic of Music”. Still missing are the correct page numbers (those used have been chosen arbitrarily).

I am mailing to Anne to check these results, and ask her for the descriptions which she offers.

Ann Thorn has indicated eight of these dances that are “reasonably popular”. These dances have been entered fully on this database; all have cribs. The others can wait a bit. Fixed. Eric
