The "Ecossaise" was originally a dance in a Scottish
style, the name is French for "Scottish". It later
featured as one of the types of "contra dance" which
were popular in Britain and France in the late 18th
century and early 19th century. This musicusually has a
quick tempo and is in duple time. The music often has
sections with significant dynamic contrast, whereby
loud sections are closely followed by soft sections and
vice versa. The country dance origins of the Ecossaise
mean that this musical style has a energetic mood and
spirit.
