15th November: F. Le Roussau, A Collection of New Ball- and Stage Dances, 1720

A facsimile of Roussau's manuscript collection of dances (LMC Ms-90, FL/Ms13.1) as well as the printed version of his Chacoon for Arlequin (LMC [c1728]-Cha, FL/1728.3s) with an introduction and background information by Jennifer Thorp.  [For a facsimile edition this is surprisingly cheap, unfortunately it shows – both the paper and the cover are thin and flimsy.  However the quality of the facsimile is good – I have had a digital copy of Ms-90 for a while now, and it was hard to work out exactly what was going on where the notation had been ammended, but in this edition it's much clearer.  But, why the inappropriate use of Comic Sans on the cover?]
