This dance is one of the first, if not the
first, dance featuring the “espagnole” formation. Note that the
espagnole, taking up the final 8 bars of the dance, is basically
identical to the first or second 8 bars of the dance rotated by 90°.

John Drewry wrote in the original description that the dance was for Mary Prentice's birthday on 12th January, 1976, in Ibiza.
