< A Dictionary of Music and Musicians
​DREHER. A name given in Austria and Bavaria to a dance very similar to the Ländler. The name, which is descriptive of the dance, is derived from the verb drehen, to twirl. Suites of Drehers are said to be in existence, but dance, music, and name are now alike obsolete.
