LANCERS QUADRILLES FIFTH FIGURE [1]. English, Quadrille Part (cut time). A Major (Köhlers). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. The tune was entered (as "Lancers Quadrille" with no identifying figure) in the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter[1] (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England. It can also be found as "Les Lanciers No. 5" in Robert Hughes music manuscript collection (1823, Whitchurch, Shropshire). Hughes' title refers to one of the classic quadrille figures in the lancers set devised and popularized by London dancing master John Duval: La Dorset, Lodoiska, La Native, Les Graces and Les Lanciers.
