A facsimile reprint of the second edition published in Paris, 1780.
Malpied's instructional manual describes Baroque dance steps and
their correlation with music using the notation system published by
Raoul-Auger Feuillet in 1700. Additionally, the manual contains
information on the minuet and also provides an extensive discussion
on hand and arm positions. Malpied's Trait is also important in
that it describes, for the first time, the five positions for the
arms, in conjunction with the five position of the feet. The work
also notes detailed treatment of the arms, hands and fingers.
Malpied's method shows a marked advance on the work of Feuillet and
Rameau in the simplification of the recording of dance steps, and
his book is noted for the simplification and clarification of the
Feuillet method.
