Zweig MS 88

Possibly not autograph. Full score. Written in ink on systems of 16 staves. Music begins f. 1v. Scored for piccolo, flute, 2 clarinets, oboe, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, bass drum, side drum, 2 trombones, and strings. An extra stave is added in ink and pencil beneath the system on f. 9r and v, to accommodate the timpani, which at that point play at the same time as the other two drums. Movements are ‘Pantalon’ (ff. 1v-3r), ‘Été’ (ff. 3v-4v), ‘Poule’ (ff. 5r-6v), ‘Pastourelle’ (ff. 7r-8v), and ‘Finale’ (ff. 9r-10v). Title-page (f. 1r): ‘Redoute-Quadrille / für das Orchester componirt / von / J. Strauss’, with, over the bottom stave the opus number, ‘158tes Werk’. Later additions, in pencil are the number in Hinterberger catalogue IX in lower margin of f. 1v, and ‘Joh. Strauss Vater’ at bottom left of f. 10v.

The Viennese quadrille consisted of six movements (Pantalon, Eté, Poule, Trénis, Pastourelle, Finale); almost all by Johann Strauss Sr. follow this pattern, as according to the published piano score does the ‘Redoute Quadrille’. It is possible that a bifolium is missing from the present manuscript, being originally between ff. 6v and 7r. and accounting for the 25 bar ‘Trénis’ found in the published versions. If this is the case, the bifolium was removed before the pencil numbering of the bifolia, and before publication of the first Hinterberger catalogue, where the manuscript is already described as of 20 pages.
