Not all courantes are easy to play though :)))
I would be very happy to receive any info on the possible dance moves
around 1600.

Hello there,
I have the impression that Courantes have the tendency to be
technically much less challenging than other compositions of their time
- most striking it appears in Kapsberger's first book (1611). What
seems to be the reason? Was a Courante a piece of teaching material? Or
where they pop tunes of their time, hence "crowd pleasers"? Also from
descriptions I understand that they are not to be played at a high
speed neither as if it was to show of one's speed skills.
Looking forward to hear some ideas, thank you.
Jurgen
