Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" is played as people dance at the ball; the music is recorded by the studio orchestra but is meant to be understood as source music at the ball; Steiner gives extensive instructions on which measures to use and provides a few measures, including a coda
Music annotations:
[m. 1] waltz; [m. 2] to bar 2 on page 4 from invitation to a loose dance routine / attention put valse in Eb / A) repeat first 8 bars on P. H. (exactly as written) / B) continue on, play next strain down to #7. But make the last 8 bars of this strain f (sonorous) (lots of celli) (no repeat) / C) play next strain as is to #8 / D) play next strain down to green sign change next 2 bars thus [followed by 2 measures written out] / turn to back of page / this should be an orchestra of about 25 or 30 men (the very downbeat however full orch to tie in with the preceding part); [back of page] E) play from #9 on page 5 to # 11 then to coda / end of part 3 / this should amount to 116 bars in all / dear Rex: I'd like this fixed up a little! more legato - stringy - (a little orchestra "pedal" with it), add harps, piano, and use 2 horns or more if you want! for example (talk to me on the phone)
