MONFERRINA, a dance of the Monferrate of Piedmont. It is a kind of country dance. One of the few specimens which we have succeeded in finding is the composition of Signor Piatti, and begins as follows:—

${ \time 6/8 \key f \major \partial 4 \relative f'' { f8-. g-. | \appoggiatura { f16[ g] } a8-.[ r g-.] f-.[ r e-.] | d-.[ r c-.] b-.[ r c-.] | d4( c8) d4( c8) | a-. f-. f-. f4-. } }$
