Schein's "Allemande"

Maira Martins Maira Martins

An allemande is a type of dance very common in baroque suites. As I keep working through Grade 1 repertoire, I'm starting to encounter more and more of those dances: allemandes, rigaudons, and many, many menuets...

Johann Hermann Schein (1586 — 1630) was a German composer of the early baroque era. He was one of the first to import the early Italian style into German music (nearly a century before Bach!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Hermann_Schein

Hi, I'm Maira and this is my attempt at old-fashioned personal blogging in the era of social media overload. I'm a day trader, programmer and photographer currently based in Valencia, Spain, and the last thing I want to talk about is work.

My little corner on the internet is all about photography, travels, learning piano, gardening, baking... The kind of personal stuff I'd share with my mom on social media, but without the ads.
