I am collecting the Marco Polo Strauss Series (well the several of them
they have ongoing). But I was curious about the initial performance of
most of this music.

I know this is dance music, but what were the venues of the performance.
Did people really go to just dance, and this music was incidental; or
was it the music of Strauss that attracted them.

Do we really know what the dances they would perform to this type of
music even look like. I ask, because I heard that we don't really know
what the Minuet or Landler/German Dance of Mozart's era looked liked.

Anyone with insights on this music with other webpage links with information
on this, would be greatly appreciated by me.

Thanks so much,
