Rasmus Storm was a dancing master, fiddler and sailor born on
the Danish island of Funen in the 1730s. His notebook was
compiled around the 1760s, and contained popular dance tunes
of the day. Although mostly traditional, there may also be tunes
of his own composition.
There are marches, polskas from Sweden, minuets, the favourite
courtly European dance of the time. The combination called
"dantz og Proportion", follows a sprightly dance in common time
with a slower 3/4 version of the same tune. The Serra also seems
to be a Swedish import, related to the Polska.
