John Adams wrote his suite, "John’s Book of Alleged Dances" in 1994. Why
"alleged"? Because, he says, “the steps for them have yet to be
invented.” We’ll hear the improbable "Habanera" and "Rag the Bone" this
morning from that suite. Careful, get that second cup of coffee before you try these
moves.
