Passe, passe, Enough, very well

NOTES

5. Dialogue en musique. The score shows that the first two lines of the first strophe were sung and repeated, theu the next three. The fourth and fifth lines are repeated a second time. The other strophes demand even more répétition. See Mesnard’s édition, vol. viii., pages 62-64, notes.

Page 10. — I. Franchise, Liberty.

Page 11. — I. A des ardeurs = Par des ardeurs.

Page 12. — I. bien troussé, well turned^ neat.

2. Quatre danseurs, etc. The dance forms the intermission, ail the characters remaining on the stage and watching it. So Act II. begins when the dance is over, without lowering the curtain.
