Dances
Fandango
Fandango is a Spanish dance that has become one of the most popular "exotic" genres in 18th-century music. From the Iberian Peninsula, where Fandango D. Scarlatti, A. Soler and L. Boccherini appeared, dance in the form of a musical play spread throughout Europe.
It is noteworthy that all Fandango written outside Spain are variants of the same melody, the source of which, apparently, was Scarlatti's play. Thus, most of Fandango can be considered variations on a fixed theme. In a sense, Fandango supplanted an earlier genre with a similar history - Folia.
The main signs of Fandango were: descending gamma at the beginning; a rhythm that mimics castanet beats; a gradual increase in tensions.
Fandango gained wide popularity after the premiere of Gluck's Don Juan. The choreographer in the premiere production (i.e., actually co-author) was Gasparo Angiolini - one of the most significant choreographers in St. Petersburg.
A description of the fandango left Beaumarchais:
"The most common of the dances is fandango, its melody unfolds at an extremely fast and lively pace, and yet it only delights with a few voluptuous pas or poses that convey quite accurately.......... so I, by no means the most chaste of men, blush to the ears.
The young Spanish woman, without looking up, and with the most modest expression on her face, stands up and begins to distinguish figures in front of the brave jumper: first, she reaches out, clicks with castanets and continues in the same spirit throughout the fandango, emphasizing the rhythm, the man twists it, leaves and returns, frantically gesticulating, and she answers him with the same body movements, only a little softer, continuing to click with his fingers, as if wanting to say: it's nothing to me, dancing until you exhale, and I'm the first to never give up, I'm not tired...
When a man comes to complete exhaustion, he is replaced by another, and a woman, if she is a skilled dancer, puts seven or eight people on the spot, one after another. There are duchesses and other quite noble fandango dancers who enjoy huge success.
The Spanish people love this obscene dance so much, which can be compared to the calendar of modern Negroes in America, it is so common there that, indulging their tastes, a certain greyhound wrote a rather funny play, where foreign clergy rebelled against fandango, declaring it a mortal sin; this case was comprehensively discussed and sent to the pope, to whom representatives of the people came and conveyed to him the complaints and wishes of the Spaniards.
The pope convened a conclave, read the report of the clergy and was already ready to ban fandango, but first decided to ask the Spaniards that they could object to these accusations; then the envoys appeared and began to ask His Holiness for permission to dance fandango in front of the entire conclave in order to clearly prove the insidiousness of their enemies.
As soon as permission was received, the orchestra played a fandango, and the envoys immediately started dancing; soon there was no trace of the seriousness of the pope and cardinals, they could not sit still, the legs went by themselves, the washing sounds of the fandango carried them away, the pace intensified, they were out of breath; dad fell, he was lifted; and His Holiness had to admit that this dance was the most charming he had ever seen; the deputies returned - the people greeted them with cheers and whistles, which here have a completely different meaning than ours - and the performance ends with an unimaginable cowardack.
