This edition contains a selection of dances from the instrumental part of the collection ” MUSICALISCH-TÜRCKISCHER EULEN-SPIEGEL ” who was
composed under the pseudonym “des bekandten dacianischen Simplississimus” and edited in 1688. It may be assumed that this was none other than George Daniel Speer, the greatest German musician and
writer on music of the 17th Century. In the title of his ”
Eulen-Spiegels ” He himself described the special character of these compositions in the title: “… AUSS DEM WELT-BEKANDTEN UNGARISCHEN KRIEGS-ROMAN EXTRAHIRET / UND MIT UNGARISCH- GRIECHISCH- MOSCOWITISCH-WALLACHISCH- KOSAKISCH- RUSNAKISCH- UND POHLISCH-LUSTIGEN BALLETEN / MIT IHREN PROPORTIONIBUS …SAMT DOPPELTEM GENERAL-BASS “. The collection thus provides players and listeners a comprehensive
document of musical practice in Europe in the 17th Century.
