Call book of modern quadrilles ... Arranged and explained by Herman A. Strassburg, Jr. ...

Strassburg, Herman A.

CREATED/PUBLISHED
Detroit, Mich., American Music Co., c1889.

SUMMARY
The author of this manual declares that "every person should be able to dance ... quadrilles without the aid of a 'caller.'" Unlike other contemporary call books, Strassburg provides the calls as well as a brief description of the figures. The work also includes three waltz quadrilles (one is set for three couples) that are credited to the well-known dancing master E. W. Masters of Boston.
