MASANIELLO QUADRILLES. Scottish, Quadrille Set. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A set of five quadrille figures, whose composition was inspired by, and based on themes from, D. F. E. Auber's opera Masaniello, ou La mutte de Portici (1828), 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.
