This Ballett by Scheidemann reflects the North German school's sophisticated approach to early keyboard dance forms. It is distinguished by its contrapuntal clarity and idiomatic early-Baroque ornamentation.
Performers must navigate the historical performance practice requirements including appropriate articulation of the inner voices.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
