Thread Name: identify? Mazurka - odd bars thrown in
Subject: identify? Mazurka - odd bars thrown in
I recently danced to a extra bar mazurka from Andy Cutting (said to be tradional?) Anyone know of any of these by name?

The technique was either to pause on the odd beat/bar and catch up, or dance through it (tick both of the above!). I am pretty adept an normal mazurkas BTW, even do them to Cajun waltzes.

The lass I danced with followed my every hesitant move, but as she said "carry on dancing". It was very rewarding, as would any dance tune played by Andy, a bright uplifting, almost Bavarian umpa feel to it.

I am sure I have danced to such a tune before, maybe the same one, but not Andy Cutting then (I think). And a quick search revealed some odd time signatures that would have me hesitate back in my seat! Nothing looking right though.

Any ideas? (before I buy the correct CD, &/or trouble the genius muso) TIA.
