Recueil de Dances Composees par M. Feuillet (Feuillet, Paris 1700) - Feuillet's own compositions (Sarabande, Folies d'Espagne, Entree espagnole, Balet)
Publisher: Raoul-Auger Feuillet (c.1660-1710), compositeur et notateur. Paris, 1700 - chez l'Auteur, rue de Bussy, Faubourg S. Germain, a la Cour Imperiale, et chez Michel Brunet, dans la grande Salle du Palais, au Mercure galant, avec Privilege du Roy. BnF Gallica scan, shelfmark 0070. Source: DATA/LIBRARY_OF_DANCE/ABBYY TXT/1700-Feuillet-Recueil_(BNF).txt. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Feuillet's companion volume to his theoretical *Choregraphie* (LOC-1700-FEUILLET) and Pecour's *Recueil de Dances* (LOC-1700-PECOUR-RECUEIL), both also published in 1700 from the same Brunet/Feuillet printing establishment. Whereas the Choregraphie established the notation system and the Pecour Recueil presented the Opera ballet-master's compositions, the present Recueil presents Feuillet's own dance compositions - making 1700 the annus mirabilis of Beauchamp-Feuillet notation (theory + two composer-corpora in a single year). Contents (from title card and catalog-of-contents OCR, corroborated by scholarly record): (1) SARABANDE (pour une femme) - Feuillet's expressive solo sarabande, one of the earliest notated solo-female theatrical sarabandes; (2) FOLIE D'ESPAGNE POUR UN HOMME - Feuillet's solo variation-set on the La Folia / Folies d'Espagne ground bass, for a male dancer; (3) FOLIE D'ESPAGNE POUR UNE FEMME - companion female-solo variation-set on the same ground bass; (4) ENTREE ESPAGNOLE - solo/duet Spanish-style theatrical entree; (5) BALET - closing ballet-entree. The two Folie d'Espagne solos are the most famous Feuillet compositions in the Recueil - forming, with the Corelli-Guillemain Sonata variations, the canonical Baroque notated-choreography treatments of the La Folia tradition. Has_Step_Detail = No: choreography is engraved in Beauchamp-Feuillet character notation and not OCR-extractable; title-card and catalog-of-contents are the extant OCR content.Year: 1700Family: feuillet-dansesCatalog: local
