Thank you. I suppose I should also post an oxymoron alert.
When I was choosing a title for the piece I wanted to know the name
of the Russian dance that would be done to the Siciliana rhythm
(dotted-eight, sixteenth, eight). At least I assumed that there was
such a dance, but I couldn't find one. It is probably just as well,
since the oxymoronic (?) title has a nice twist to it. But I still
wonder about the assumed Russian dance. Does anybody know what it
would be?
Thanks,
John Link
