Raccolta di Contraddanze ovvero Pot-Pourri — Sorento Stitio (Torino, 1850)
Publisher: Raccolta di Contraddanze ovvero Pot-Pourri, de Sorento Stitio. Torino, 1850. (Italian publisher imprint, French-language contents.) Source: Richard Powers collection ABBYY TXT, 1850_Torino.txt. Italian-Austrian continental ballroom mid-19c regional anthology — 43+ numbered contradanse figures using generic quadrille calls (en avant, chaîne anglaise, balancez, chassez ouvert, chassez croisez, tour de main, grande chaîne, grand rond, galoppe, demi-chaîne, chaîne des dames, bouquet des dames, queue de chat, demi-rond à trois arcades, traversez, promenade solitaire, polka interludes, etc.) — organized as a Pot-Pourri collection where each numbered figure is 24, 32, 40, or 48 measures in length. Historical value: fills the mid-19c Italian ballroom gap; pairs with POWERS-1826-CASORTI (Biedermeier Linz) and LOC-1900-PICHETTI (Belle-Époque Rome) for continuous Italian/Austrian continental ballroom coverage across the 1800s. The Torino (Turin) imprint is distinct from any Parisian/Lyonnais or London publisher in the corpus. Composite-canonical treatment: the 43 numbered figures are un-named (purely numbered 1-43+) and use the same shared vocabulary of quadrille calls; umbrella canonical representation is chosen for this pass (per Warwick 1871 / Casorti 1826 clone pattern precedent). Per-figure granularity deferred.Year: 1850Family: torinoCatalog: local
