An uncommon edition. Very little is known about J. Charles Rogolinsky. These dances are quite representative of his few extant publications, all of which are light compositions for keyboard.

Only slightly more can be said about the publisher, J. Brieff. He seems to have been in operation by 1810 at the latest, and conducted at least some business with the publishing firm Paez, which was also based in St. Petersburg during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Sold together with two additional and different sets of dances:
Rogolinsky, Charles. Recueil de differentes Danses Pour le Piano Forte. J. Brieff: St. Petersbourg, Russia, n/d. Engraved. Oblong quarto. 9 pp. Title page vignette. Title page beginning to detach. A little ink transfer. Otherwise clean and good.

Rogolinsky, Charles. Recueil de differentes Danses Pour le Piano Forte. Vonderfour: St. Petersburg, Russia, n/d. Pl.n. 39. Engraved. Oblong quarto. 13 pp. Title page a little dusty. Some ink transfer throughout, but otherwise excellent.
