to the left. These, also, occupy the same number of bars. — Combined or Mixed Steps. These are an association ol
different steps, and which are necessary to add variety to the dance. For example ; you may add two of the sixth
step (Seby-trast) to two of the third, (Single Kemk6ssy.) This you may vary by doing the first of these steps before
instead of behind ; or you may add two of the second step (Minor Kemkossy ) to one Single Kemk6ssy. These steps
may be transposed, so that the last shall take the place of the first. Again : two of the sixth step (Seby-trast) may
be added to the fourth step (Double Kemk6ssy) in going to either side. Another variety much practised is to spring
backward with the right foot, instead of forward, as in the fifth step, and hop upon the left ; then spring forward, and
again hop upon the same foot, and add to these two springs one Single Kemk6ssy, passing the right foot behind the
left. You do the same step, beginning it with the left foot. In short, without particularizing any other combinations,
I shall only add that you have it in your power to change, divide, add to, or invert the different steps described, in
whatever way you think best adapted to the tune, or most pleasing to yourself." — Sketch V. pages 85-98.
We have added to this Introduction some curious foreign dance-tunes, which cannot fail to be interesting to
Musicians. Among these tunes are some remarkable ones of Auvergne that were promised in the Introduction to
"Wood's Melodies of Scotland without Words," just published.
