Back to Masaniello Quadrilles

MASANIELLO QUADRILLES. Scottish, Quadrille Set. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). D. F. E. Auber's opera Masaniello, ou La mutte de Portici (1828) is generally considered the first French grand opera. Auber's work is loosely based on the real-life Masaniello (an abbreviation of Tommaso Aniello) (1622-1647), an Italian fisherman who became leader of the revolt against the rule of Habsburg Spain in Naples in 1647.

The set of five quadrille figures was published by editor W.B. Laybourn in Köhler’s, book 1 (1881), however, quadrille arrangements of themes from the opera appeared soon after its original publication (c.f. "28th Set of Quadrilles, the airs selected from Auber's admired opera...Arranged for the piano forte or ... with an accompaniment for the flute", 1830).
