THE BIRMINGHAM STUDIO ORCHESTRA
Conducted by FRANK CANTELL
THE original Ecossaise, actually and not merely in name a Scottish dance, was always a bagpipe tune, whose metre varied between two in the bar and a slow three. By the time of Schubert and Beethoven, a modified form of it had become popular, danced by partners who faced one another, and both those great masters wrote a good many Ecossaises as pianoforte pieces. By that time it had developed a much livelier step,
and was almost always in a quick two in the bar, consisting of clear-cut sections, either of four or eight bars which were repeated.
