to be clear (not that anyone has said anything)... "Frankenstein's Monster" meant merely that it was pieced together from parts taken from elsewhere. No allusions to literary, or other, merit or other, were intended!   :)

Thanks for sending along Allan's Frankenstein's Monster dance. It reads really well and I look forward to running it through my head a few times and calling it.

How does the dance/music phrasing work, in practice, for the allemandes that span A2-B1? Instinct leads me to prefer having that all contained with A or within B (as in Chuck the Budgie).
