Harlequinade

Harlequinade

Harlequinade (danza), es una danza de origen inglés basada en la música que a veces se tocaba en dicho país en la representación de las Arlequinadas homónimas, basadas éstas en los tipos de la Comedia dell'Arte. A veces, por su ritmo rápido y alegre, que recuerda a Arlequín, se incluyó en la suite barroca inglesa, francesa, y alemana: Rameau y Telemann, entre otros, compusieron movimientos de suite con dicha danza.
