The Celebrated Mazurka of Spa / The Original Mazurka — bilingual French/English 4-figure Mazurka Quadrille (Jullien, London, c.1844; described by Laborde, Corralli, and Elie at the Royal Academy of Paris)

Dance manual/reference by Published by Jullien (Louis Antoine Jullien, 1812-1860, the French conductor and music publisher famous for his London Promenade Concerts and popular dance-music arrangements); described technically by Messieurs Laborde, Corralli, and Elie, 'Professors at the Royal Academy of Paris.' Undated (per French/British publishing convention of the 1840s); estimated c.1844 from co-circulation with the Polka and Mazurka crazes, Jullien's peak London publishing period, and the inclusion of the 'Mazurka of Spa' naming — Spa (Belgium) being a fashionable mid-1840s Continental spa-town ballroom venue. Source: Richard Powers collection (POWERS/ABBYY TXT/Original_Mazurka.txt — 79 lines OCR; bilingual French/English step prose for four figures). Four-figure Mazurka Quadrille structure: (1) Première Figure — Tour sur place, Holubiec (1er mouvement four bars / 2e mouvement four bars), Promenade by leading couple (8 bars), Changement de dames (leading cavalier takes next couple's lady, recommences promenade; repeated around the set); (2) Deuxième Figure — Rond / Moulinet / Chaîne Anglaise Double (first couple to right rond four bars left + four bars right; moulinet four bars left + four bars right; chaîne anglaise double to third couple for eight bars; tour sur place and holubiec 2e mvt; grande chaîne and holubiec 1er/2e mvt for all); (3) Troisième Figure — Chassé-Ouvert, sur le côté (chassé-ouvert with heel-strike twice at 4th measure; gentlemen and ladies join hands, each lady at gent's left; en avant quatre + chaîne anglaise double; changement de dame; grande chaîne and holubiec); (4) Quatrième Figure — Rond Final (rond à quatre 4+4 bars; promenade à quatre; rond à six; promenade à six; rond général 4+4 bars; each couple to place with holubiec 1er/2e mvt). Distinctive elements: (i) the 'Mazurka of Spa' Continental-spa ballroom attribution; (ii) the Royal Academy of Paris pedagogic credentialing — Jean-Baptiste Laborde, Giovanni Coralli (1779-1854, Paris Opéra ballet-master and co-choreographer of Giselle 1841), and Michel Elie were the Paris-Opéra-dancing-master-corps authorities of the 1840s; (iii) the four-figure (rather than five) structure — distinct from the Almack's/Durang five-figure H-GAB-MAZ-F0070..F0074 canonical set; (iv) the explicit first-movement/second-movement decomposition of the Holubiec step; (v) the Change of Ladies (Changement de Dames) as the through-structural device linking all four figures. Historical value: first-corpus Jullien Mazurka Quadrille in the corpus, paralleling but distinct from POWERS-1845-LES-RUSSES-MAZURKAS (London, 1845, also a 4-figure Mazurka Quadrille but with different figure sequence) and LOC-1847-CELLARIUS / LOC-1849-CELLARIUS (Cellarius's Paris-Opéra-derived Mazurka-Valse codification). The Laborde / Coralli / Elie attribution places the source in the Paris-Opéra pedagogic lineage, mirroring Cellarius's formal-teaching position at the same period.
