A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Schottische
SCHOTTISCHE ('The Scotch dance'), a round dance very similar to the polka. It must not be confounded with the Ecossaise, which was a country dance of Scotch origin introduced into France towards the end of the last century. The Schottische was first danced in England in 1848, when it was also known as the German Polka. It does not seem to have been danced in Paris, as Cellarius (La Danse des Salons, Paris 1847) does not include it amongst the dances he describes. The music is almost the same as that of the polka, but should be played rather slower. The following is the tune to which it was originally danced in England.
