These two dances were originally intended for a pedagogical publication by Boosey & Hawkes, UK, in a proposed series of works for flexible instrumentation with piano accompaniment. Unfortunately, the series never eventuated. The copyright remains with the composer.  The two dances have also been arranged for string orchestra (see Book 3 of Works for String Orchestra).
