Hart's Fatherland Quadrille (Duets) — 5-Figure London Quadrille (Hart, c.1840)

Publisher: Hart (London publisher; full imprint not given on the engraved cover; possibly Joseph Hart of London who published quadrille-set arrangements in the 1830s-1840s). Undated; estimated c.1840 from (i) bilingual Primo / Secondo (4-hand piano) layout typical of c.1835-1845 London ballroom sheet-music engraving; (ii) standard 5-figure quadrille structure with named-finale convention; (iii) 1840s European-character figure-naming convention (Le Chasseur de Florence / The Mountain Girl / The Mountaineer). Source: Richard Powers collection (POWERS/ABBYY TXT/Hart_Fatherland.txt — 26 lines OCR; cover + figure-name cards only; full instructional prose missing from extant OCR). Five named figures (per the OCR-extant figure cards numbered 1, 2, 9, 11 plus the L'Été-typical naming for the second-tradition figure): (1) Le Chasseur de Florence (Pantalon-equivalent character figure); (2) The Mountain Girl (L'Été-tradition character figure); (3) L'Été (standard quadrille name); (4) The Mountaineer (character figure); (5) Father Land Finale (named finale). Sister set to POWERS-c1840-HART-30TH (Hart's 30th Set / Songs of the Minstrels) already in corpus. Both Hart sheet-music quadrille sets share the c.1840 London engraved-card convention with character-themed figure-name navigation. Has_Step_Detail = No (sheet-music engraving with figure-name cards only; full call-prose missing from the extant OCR; pre-Silvester London ballroom vocabulary).Year: 1840Family: powers-c1840-hart-fatherlandCatalog: local
