Historical Note
Cotillion can refer to a style of group dance that originated in France in the late 18th century and was popular in Europe and the United States during the late 18th and 19th centuries. As other group dances like the quadrille rose in popularity during the 19th century, these dances were also sometimes referred to as cotillions. A cotillion can also mean the event at which these dances would happen, such as a formal ball, especially in the United States.
Sheet music is printed musical notation. During the 19th century, published sheet music was a major part of the music industry. One of the main ways people enjoyed music was to buy sheet music and perform it in their homes, especially on piano.
