Schulhoff, E.: Hot-Music, 10 Studies in Syncopation / Suite

I possess an uncanny passion for popular dance and have times when I dance night after night with bar dames (I only dance modern dances like the foxtrot, Boston, slingan, passo doppio, etc.), purely out of rhythmic enthusiasm and a subconscious sensual drive. Because of myunbelievably earthy, almost even animalistic consciousness, dancing infuses me with a phenomenal creative impulse. (Erwin Schulhoff in a letter to Alban Berg)
