PETIT COCARDE (Small roundel). French-Canadian, Schottische (2/4 and 3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The first strain is in 2/4 time and plays like a schottische, however, the second strain is predominantly 3/4 time but switches to common time at the end of each musical phrase. The first strain, as researcher Jean Duval notes, is shared with several other tunes, beginning with "Bridesmaid Schottische" in Kerr's Merry Melodies vol. 4 (c. 1880's). In Quebec, the same part is also to be found as the first strain of Joseph Allard's "Reel boule de neige (1)" AKA "Quadrille fève aux lard", and as the second strain of Isidore Soucy's "Quadrille canadien -- partie 1" and Allard's earlier "Quadrille français."
