2. Petre refers to this change, but he misreads the notation, claiming that Tomlinson uses both the English menuet step (Feuillet's pas de menuet à la boëmienne) and the variant of that step, when in fact Tomlinson uses only the latter. (Petre, “Six New Dances,” p. 385.)
3. Although this step-unit appears frequently in English choreographies, it is not included in the English treatises of the period. In the 1701 edition of Chorégraphie Feuillet refers to this step as a “pas qui se fait comunement dans le menuet” (p. 80).
