The Leipzig “Taubertiade” in 2017, celebrating the tercentenary of Gottfried Taubert’s Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister, was a culmination of research on Taubert up to that very moment, but furthermore a commencement of ongoing multifaceted collaboration among many scholars.1 Thanks to it, we now know that, in addition to the Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister, Taubert’s magnum opus, he wrote three lesser works or opera minora, all of whose titles commence modestly with the words Kurtzer Entwurff: “Short Sketch.”2 The three books either anticipate the Rechtschaffener Tantzmeister or draw from it later, but are in fact quite different. As a group, they trace an evolution in Taubert’s thinking and writing, his methods and priorities, concerning dance over four decades.
