ISBN: 9780199772612 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Book on the Art of Dancing
ISBN: 9781906830380 / Angielski / Twarda / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some of the earliest dance treatises come from Italy and were written in the second half of the 15th century by dancing masters working at the Courts of the great ruling families of Northern Italy such as the d'Estes, Gonzagas and Medici. For the first time we have descriptions of the social dances performed at these courts, though the writers often assume a prior knowledge of technique and leave out much that we would like to know today. Although Antonio Cornazano was not a dancing master, he was an enthusiastic amateur, and his work gives us valuable insights into the interpretation of...
