Notes |
Composed in 1887. "The coquette referred to in the title of this miniature is a maiden described in Longfellow's translation of an obscure German poem, 'Beware.' One slightly modified verse was often quoted in Sousa Band programs: I know a maiden fair to see, Take care! Take care! She can both false and friendly be, Beware! Beware! "In 1901, this short dance was one of three pieces integrated into a suite called 'Maidens Three'." The Works of John Philip Sousa pg. 129 Paul E. Bierley Integrity Press 1984 |
