Another way to go about it brings tonal relations, including mediants, into strong relief. The initial dance-trio-dance-trio group is the same, but the second reprise of n1 is replaced by n9, a piece of similar character and in a mediant relation to n10, which precedes n9 here; another mediant change brings back the D779n13 trio, and finally we hear a reprise of n1 to round things off. Or: n1-13-1-10-9-13-1, and IDENT-IDENT-P-L-RP-IDENT, where IDENT means neither tonic nor mode change.

More to recomposition
This is a continuation of yesterday's post. I have constructed a second re-composition that goes a rather different direction: where my chain of dances from D365 + D779n13 yesterday emphasized the Ländler traits of the group, here I will be fitting D779n13 (as a trio) to two numbers from the D783 German dances. The most boisterous of the lot, n1, starts, with D779n13 in its 16-bar version as a first trio; after a reprise of n1, the mode change ties the second trio to D779n13 as "other"; again reprise to close. This version simultaneously brings out the deutscher traits and the Zärtlichkeit of D779n13.
