RADAMISTUS
Radamistus was a royal prince of the Kingdom of Iberia.
Playford instructs musicians to play two As and two Bs. However, he only gives us one set of instructions for the first A music. Honouring the presence and your partner is done at the beginning and end of the dance. Playford puts this instruction in brackets, indicating that it does not form part of the rest of the dance. The musicians, then, must play the first 8 bars at the beginning and end of the dance. For the rest of the dance, the A music is played only once.
I iron out this anomaly in my dance, Prince Rhadamistus.
