Tauberts "Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister" (Leipzig 1717)

by Hanna Walsdorf

Gottfried Taubert's "Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister", a nearly 1200-page long magnum opus, was published in Leipzig in 1717. To celebrate its 300-year jubilee, 'Taubertiades' held in Paris and Leipzig brought together well known scholars and Baroque dance practice specialists. Their contributions, collected here, contextualize Taubert's works from a wide spectrum of perspectives.
