Schubert wrote more than 400 dances for piano, most of which were intended to be played and danced to at the informal musical soirées known as “Schubertiads.” This set, D. 783, comprised 16 “German dances”—a broad term that comprised ländler and waltzes, among other triple-time dances—plus two écossaises (omitted in this program) .Michael Brown
