National Polkas
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Camille Schubert: A Vibrant and Energetic Dance from France and Bohemia of the 1840s This piano cover, titled "National Polkas (Les Rivalles)" by the renowned French composer and arranger Camille Schubert, showcases the lively and spirited nature of the Polka dance that swept across Europe in the mid-19th century. The cover, dedicated to the Marquess of Londonderry, features an illustration of a dynamic and energetic dance scene, with a couple in Victorian attire engaged in a playful and competitive Polka, their rivals, or "rivales," watching intently from the sidelines. The Polka, a dance originating from Bohemia, gained immense popularity in both France and the wider European community during the 1840s. With its lively and infectious rhythm, the dance quickly became a symbol of the new Bohemian spirit, embraced by the upper classes and the masses alike. Schubert's arrangement for piano captures the essence of this dance, with its intricate melodies and lively, rhythmic accompaniment. The cover art, with its vibrant colors and detailed illustrations, adds to the overall charm and allure of the piece. The dancers, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, exude energy and excitement, inviting the listener to join in the dance. The use of the term "National Polkas" suggests that this piece may have been influenced by various national styles or traditions, further adding to its unique character and appeal. Overall, this cover art and piano composition offer a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the Polka dance and its enduring popularity during the Victorian era.
