Round dance collection
Reigen collection is a song book published in 1906 by the reform pedagogue Minna Radczwill .
The dance was used in the second half of the 19th century, mainly in education for girls, Minna Radczwill wanted to solve the dance with her songbook from this context and make a movement practice again for all children and young people to access. She therefore chose dance dance that was played by children of both sexes. She attached importance to the fact that individual forms of expression can be developed during the dance and that, in the spirit of life reform, the dances should be performed outdoors and in natural clothing. In this regard, she explicitly expected resistance from her colleagues.
The song book was published by BG Teubner Verlag as the fifth volume in the series "Small writings of the Central Committee for the Promotion of Popular and Youth Games in Germany". Six editions of the work had been published by 1929, the fourth and fifth were expanded to include a few rounds and arrangements for violin and lute , and the sixth appeared with pen drawings by Irma Fröhlich.
