The Instruction was probably written around 1610. In addition to branles, to be found in it are pavaniglia variations and numerous dances for which Praetorius provided the music in his dance collection Terpsichore. The new edition contains the complete French facsimile with transcription, an overview of all the steps, comparisons with other sources, and a survey of German history around 1600.

Johann Georg Pasch
Anleitung sich bei grossen HERRN Höfen und andern beliebt
zu machen
[How to Win Favour with the High and Mighty]
Newly edited and introduced by Uwe Schlottermüller. Abstracts in English and French. Steps translated by Barbara Ravelhofer and Véronique Daniels.
114 pp., ISBN 3 931344 03 7; Price € 26,00
The appendix to Pasch's conduct book from 1659, which is interesting from the point of view of cultural history as well as enjoyable to read, contains six dances with music and step combinations. This (until now) unknown source from the mid-seventeenth century is probably valid not only for the dance culture in Germany, but likewise for Ballet de cours and early French opera.
