Who doesn't like the ciaccona, ciacona or chaconne - the exuberant dance in which the upper voices fantasise over a bass scheme, imitating and inspiring each other. The ciaconna, which may have come to Spain from South America, quickly spread throughout Europe and even found its way into popular music. Some pieces are famous, some unknown, by Bertali, Purcell, Schmelzer, Matteis, Corelli or anonymous composers from the famous collection from the "Schrank no.2" in Dresden.
