- Preface
  
  "Since a summer's day back in 1993, when "Fødselsdagsschottisch" came out of my fingers, I've been making music. I've hardly ever written a melody without having an idea that you can dance to it. In my universe, folk music is closely linked to dance, because I grew up with dance evenings in the community center and at festivals. For many years I only wrote couple dances; for me it was easiest to play with the notes over a structure that was not bound by a certain number of bars. But in 2016 I gave myself the challenge of composing music for the more specific Danish dances. I received a working grant from AUTOR and borrowed a house from a kind man where I could immerse myself in the company of a wood stove, my violin and my piano. It was here that most of the material you now hold in your hand was composed.
  
  This booklet contains 58 of my original compositions, which I hope you will thoroughly enjoy."
