Product Description
The quadrille (a precursor to American square dancing) was a dance fashionable in late 18th- and 19th-century Europe and its colonies. It was usually performed by four pairs of dancers in a rectangular formation, and frequently danced to a medley of opera melodies. So, it turns out that a quadrille is just the 19th-century version of a mash-up!
This Quadrille features excerpts from: Symphony #38 (Prague), the Impressario overture, Viennese Sonatina No. 1, Symphony #41 (Jupiter), Don Giovanni, Marriage of Figaro, March for Orchestra, KV 189, Queen of the Night aria from Magic Flute, Abduction from the Seraglio, Turkish March, and the finale from Symphony #29. The title comes from "Laudatio" which means commendation or praise, and "Amadeus" from Wolfgang Mozart's best known middle name.
