My research focused on a set of sixteen schottisches from Duke University's Historical American Sheet Music Project. I analyzed these pieces searching for the rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and structural conventions associated with the schottische. What I found is that the conventions attached to the dance form hold true, regardless of the location of the publisher or the political ideology of the composer. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
