Silesia is the name of a region (English: "Silesia") located in present-day southwestern Poland and northeastern Czechia. Folk dancing is very popular in Silesia. The present musical score also includes an illustration of six girls holding hands side-by-side and happily stepping. Among Silesian folk dances, there is a quadruple-meter piece where six girls, as depicted in this illustration, hold hands in a line, step, and dance while singing. Furthermore, this melody, titled "Silesian Skip Dance," is featured in beginner recorder textbooks as a piece playable from C to G, with an arrangement by Keyserling. Let's analyze and imagine the quadruple-meter Silesian dance in allegro tempo, inspired by this illustration. (Reprinted from 2022 Analysis Special Issue Vol. 1)
