Reading Aids
for Feuillet notation of baroque stage dances & ballets
The perfected and practice-oriented collection of reading aids for the Feuillet notations of ballets from the Baroque & Rococo eras.
edited by Peter Hoffmann
The reading aids developed by me assist in the reconstruction of dances in Feuillet notation and serve as excellent memory joggers during courses. They are also ideally suited for adding your own personal notes.
Reading aids in digital format are available for many dances. This is intended to facilitate reconstruction for dancers who are not yet versed in Feuillet notation. Since the files are provided in PDF format, they are suitable both for printing and for use on your personal tablet.
For every page of the Feuillet notation, a cleaned-up Feuillet notation is provided, along with an additional reading aid for each dance position—typically the ladies' or gentlemen's side—featuring marked spatial pathways and step designations.
These reading aids can also be used simply as a memory jogger or for refreshing one's knowledge.
PDF Editions for Download
All reading aids are now available in the new Baroque Dance Shop as PDF files for downloading and self-printing*.
