For example, Fugue in F Major from WTC 1 is in the style of a
passepied and resembles the
passepied movement that Bach labeled in his Partita No.
For example, this passage in Delibes's
Passepied from Le Roi S'Amuse [ABCCAB1/coda] is originally for string orchestra.

Perhaps the most far-reaching editorial changes occur in the Inventions, where the editor transposes the work one step higher and changes the meter of the
Passepied and Toccata (the first and fourth movements, respectively) from [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] to [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII].
Armande de Polignac's unpublished "Petite suite pour clavecin" and Marie Prestat's three Pieces dans le style ancien (Menuet Louis XIV,
Passepied, La reine au petit lever) are mentioned in Launay, Les compositrices francaises, 338.
Then, the dancers will return for the brief remaining sections: Courante, Gavotte, Forlane, Menuett, Bourree and
Passepied.
A chain of increasingly dynamic dances ensues ("Gavotte gracieuse," "Menuet," "Gavotte gaie," "Chaconne vive," "Loure tres grave," "
Passepied vif," "Rigaudon vif"), and is meant to evoke the awakening of the Statue to life.(27) The Statue attempts the steps of each in turn, before launching forth solo into a sensuous "Sarabande." At last, the throng enters to acclaim the miracle.
Highlights of the program, which was accompanied onstage by fumes Richman's excellent Concert Royal ensemble, were the opening "Dances of the Court," which showed popular dance forms of the period (minuet

An unfortunate and confusing grammatical error appears numerous times throughout the edition: the editori al annotation "violons seule" should read "violons seuls" (i.e., only the violins, without woodwind doubling); similarly "fl[hat{u}]tes seule" should read "fl[hat{u}]tes seules." Also, despite the title "Passe-pied pour les violons," the first
passepied on page 31 should include doubling oboes and bassoons (clearly indicated in the source by the word "tous"); the second
passepied is, as one expects, a woodwind trio.
