Magyar Traditional: Parnatanc Skeleton score, from which to build ad-hoc arrangements. Two of the suggested parts are very easy. This is a traditional Hungarian 'pillow' dance. It would be sung and danced by the young girls of the village when they presented a bride-to-be with embroidered linen for her trousseau. Each section is repeated many times. Originally, a pillow dance would have been unaccompanied but, in the more recent instrumental versions, variety is obtained by having the melody played on different instruments. When played by a soloist, it can be freely ornamented. Players should experiment with their own ad-hoc arrangements of this tune, rather than everyone playing all the time.

Magyar Traditional: Veteran's Dance Skeleton score, from which to build ad-hoc arrangements. One of the suggested parts is very easy. This is a slow dance suited to the pace of older villagers, hence the title - "Veteran's Dance". The slow tempo also affords an opportunity for the bass instruments to take a solo spot. Preferably, everyone should memorise the parts, as this makes for greater flexibility in the ad-hoc arrangements. Players can also improvise their own parts, as suggested in the score.
