Notes

This dance is both in the Il Papa manuscript and in the Florence manuscript. It is interesting to note that Florence has a clear chorus of the last 4 measures of each figure: t t/P P R/d/d. Il Papa changes things around a bit - he has the PPR for figure one, PP for fiture 2, and R for figure 3. For the ease of memory gained by having a consistent chorus, we have gone with Florence in this regard.
