Social and musical life in Biedermeier Vienna during the first decade of the 19th century created a great demand for dances which took place in the residences of wealthy citizens. With their echoes of the Austrian countryside Schubert's folk-type 'Ländler' are dances in 3/4 time, precursors of the waltz. Composed towards the end of his life when Schubert wrote his greatest music, the sets of 16 and 17 Ländler are notable for their melodic inventiveness. The 16 are dedicated to the ladies of Vienna and known as the 'Wiener DamenLändler'; while the 'Écossaises' were intended for facing lines of dancers rather than couples. Daniel Lebhardt relishes the joy and 'irresistible and sometimes quite delirious' ingenuity of these jewel-like dances.
