WALTZ QUADRILLE [1]. American, Waltz. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCD. A generic-titled medley for a once-popular dance form called the waltz quadrille. R.P. Christeson belived that his source had cobbled together the piece himself. Paul Gifford knows the waltz-quadrille as a singing call from the 1920’s, and believes it may have been one of the first of the genre. The first strains of "Waltz Quadrille (2)" and "Waltz Quadrille (3)" are similar.
