Publisher: Anonymous (attributed to Juan Antonio Marset) / Madrid 1774. Biblioteca Nacional de Espana scan. Source: DATA/LIBRARY_OF_DANCE/ABBYY TXT/1774-Marset-Contradanzas_(BNE).txt (247 lines OCR; clean Spanish 18c print). STRUCTURE: 28 named figured contradanzas for the Madrid 1774 Carnival 'bayles publicos de esta corte', divided into a first set of 9 numbered Abiertas (Celebrada, Mas Facil, Graciosa, Sin Par, Mas Linda, Imaginable, Brillante, Favorita, Mas Hermosa) and a second set of 19 numbered pieces mixing 'Abierta' and 'de a ocho' forms (Mudable, Constante, Bella Noche, Madrilena, Los Ochos, Inglesa Nueva, Tambor, Rasas [Pasas, OCR error], Inmutable, Bonita, Festiva, Estrada, de los Aventureros, Cadena Franca, Allemande Suice [Suisse], Miscelanea, Ano Nuevo, Turca, Nueces). Each contradanza is structured in 2 or 3 Partes with 4-8 compases per section. FIGURE VOCABULARY: Castilian late-18c contradanza vocabulary — paseo, sarse, cadena, rueda, cruz, ocho por fuera/dentro, alas de cabecera/costado, caracol, media alemanda, media cadena, dos manos y vuelta, balance y rigodon, galope, seguidillas, paso de fandango. HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Marset 1774 is the Madrid-court mid-Carlos-III (reign 1759-1788) carnival-repertoire booklet that bridges LOC-1769-MONSORT (Valencia 1769, 40 dances) and LOC-1775-IBARRA (Madrid 1775, 12 Prince-of-Asturias commissions) in the Iberian-contradanza corpus. ROSETTA STONE LINKS: 12 exact-title matches to Monsort 1769 canonicals (Constante, Bella Noche, Inmutable, Cadena Franca, Los Ochos/Ochus, Madrilena, Inglesa Nueva, Pasas/Rasas, Allemande Suisse/Suice, Miscelanea, Ano Nuevo, Turca) — the EARLIEST cross-Iberian documentation that these named contradanzas circulated independently between Valencia 1769 and Madrid 1774, establishing a pan-Iberian-contradanza repertoire shared between the two major courts before the Ibarra 1775 royal-commission set.
