It was common for composers in that era to write dance & party music in popular styles, at least on the side to help pay the bills. I'm pretty sure Mozart & Beethoven did their fair share! They were certainly much more receptive to the popular music of their time than most of today's academicians and classical purists are to ours... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Salter xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx www.slip.net/~bsalter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
