Johann M. Schmalnauer, “Salzamtschreiber” (Salt Office Clerk) in Bad Ischl, recorded more than 600 dances around 1820, which provide an impressive picture of dance music practice at the beginning of the 19th century in the Salzkammergut. This collection represents a unique topological source for scholars and offers practitioners many traceable treasures.

Gerlinde Haid, born in 1943 in Bad Aussee, Styria, received degrees in music education and German philology and a Ph.D. in ethnology and musicology. She served as a secretary general at the Austrian Folk Music Society and as assistant at the Department for Traditional Music at the Mozarteum University in Innsbruck. Since 1994, she has been the director of the Institute for Folk Music Research at the University for Music and the Performing Arts in Vienna.
