The German composer and pianist Johann Wilhelm Hássler could be described as a grand-pupil of I. S. Bach - he studied music with his uncle
J. C. Kittel, who had been a pupil of Bach's. He became court pianist at St Petersburg, Russia, in 1793, but soon after that moved to Moscow where
he became a successful pianist and piano teacher.
The écossaise is a lively country dance in 214 time.Its name is French for'scottish', and it might have originated in Scotland. However, üe
dance became popular throughout Europe in the l8th and early 19th centuries. In this piece, from 50 piéces d I'usage des commengans (50 Pieces
for Beginners), üe staccato wedges do not mean staccatissimo, but are the l8th-century equivalent of the present-day staccato dot.
Sowce: Cinquante piéces h l'usage des commengan§, Op. 38 (Moscow: C. Wenzel, n.d.). The slurs in ba¡s 9 ald 11, right hand, and 10, left hand, arc editorial
suggestions only.
