Description

Paine of Almacks Quadrilles, with their proper figures in French and directions to each Dance as performed at Almacks and at the Carlton House Fete, to which is added the celebrated Prince Frederick of Prussia's Waltz, arranged for the Piano Forte, Harp or Violin.Paine wasn't the first to publish Quadrilles in London, but his 1816 first set became the authorised version that others referenced. Paine was a leader of the band at the fashionable Almack's Assembly Rooms in the mid to late 1810s, many other publishers would describe their own quadrille publications as being "as performed by Paine's band", a liberty Paine himself was not at all happy about. He signed each legitimate copy of his Quadrilles by hand as a proof of authenticity (thereby disambiguating them from such potentially rogue editions as here: https://archive.org/details/Paines1stSetOfQuadrillesChappell ).For further information on Paine see: http://regencydances.org/paper010.php .
