Talk:Courante

Courante vs Corrente
The article currently states that, "Modern usage will sometimes use the different spellings to distinguish types of courante (Italian spelling for the Italian dance, etc.), but in the original sources spellings were inconsistent." However, according to my Barenreiter Urtext sheet music for the French Suites (which includes brief sections about each dance), Bach did differentiate between the courante and corrente in the partitas of the first part of his Klavierübung, using courante for the French style and corrente for the Italian style. If this is correct (and I generally trust Barenreiter), then the spelling differentiation isn't exclusively modern; there is at least one baroque source which makes use of it. Thus, if no one has any objections, I will change this part of the article appropriately. JeanneShade (talk) 23:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Rythm examples
Both examples of courant rythm are basically the same (the only difference being the added accents in the second example). One of the examples should, in my opinion, be substituted with a different example or be deleted. Joris Peters (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed, this is puzzling. Even the added accents only mark the regular metrical accents already present in the notation of the second bar; accents in the first bar would be more instructive. These two examples were added on 11 February 2010 in this edit by User:Hyacinth. Both are cited to the same book, on the same page. Perhaps Hyacinth can shed some light on the reason for having two seemingly identical illustrations purporting to be two different variant rhythms?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:51, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Popular dances giving the courante its name
Is no one interested in adding anything about those dances? Some of them still exist, there's many traditional pieces called "curenta" in northern Italy for example.
