Цитата: ball are given in Warsaw, 1833
Recollection of Warsaw.
By a polish lady.
[…] Superb ball are given in Warsaw. […] The ball was invariable opened by majestic polonaise. This dance sets in motion both yang and old […], for the polonaise is the only dance which affords an opportunity for conversation. The mazurka, now so fashionable throughout Europe, has in Poland, so indefinable charm; – it is the fandango of the Poles. The first notes of the national melody diffuse animation through the ball-room and one mazurka is frequently prolongated for several hours at session. As to French quadrilles, they are not by any means popular in Warsaw, and it is only dancers pas excellence who venture on them.
