Dating back to 1810–1820, Hartl´s manuscript contains 700 descriptions of dance-instrumental melodies for violin, with names like ländler, steyrisch, schotisch, egosso(e), marsch etc. The research explores the historical and cultural context of Hartl´s work in the bilingual, Czech-German region of northeastern Bohemia, and the position of a small-town teacher in the first half of the 19th century
