1. Margit Legler and Reinhold Kubik offer a concise list of the major public dance venues in 19th-century Vienna: see yesterday's post. Also in that post: Andrea Harrandt discusses the professional activities of Johann Strauss, sr., during the Carneval season. She reproduces two page-long lists of his engagements, for 1840 and 1846, respectively (139, 142).
2. Walter Deutsch comments on the "Strassburger": post.
3. Examples of the trio texture for waltzes (from Walburga Litschauer and Walter Deutsch; also, Rainer Gstrein): [edited 6-3-10] meant for this post but since moved into a new post.
4. David Brodbeck has some commentary and an explanatory example for the Scherzo movement from the "Death and the Maiden" Quartet: post.
5. Legler and Kubik reproduce instructions from a dance manual by one Edward David Helmke (1830): post.
6. Barbara Boisits reproduces the sequence of dances (Tanzordnung) for the first ball of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (1830): post.
7. I corrected "Schuhplattl" to "Schnadahüpfl" in a couple recent posts. I also corrected several early posts, where I reversed the designation of marked and unmarked terms in an opposition.
8. I added a link to an ad for Franz Mailer's 10-volume biography of Johann Strauss, jr., in the post reviewing his Strauss-Verzeichniss.
