And of course, early in the 17th century the "ciacona" was anything
but stately, and was proscribed in certain places due to its licentious
reputation. In those cases, what I hear is an ostinato bass line rather
than a chord progression per se. And something far removed from either
Brahms, Bach or Lully.
