and his monferrines
According to Grove,
A country dance, Piedmontese in origin, popular in England in the early 19th century (sometimes called ‘monfrina’, ‘monfreda’ or ‘manfredina’). Typical examples, in 6/8 metre, appear in Wheatstone’s Country Dances for 1810 and Companion to the Ballroom (c1816). Clementi composed two sets, of 12 (op.49, 1821) and six (wo15–20).Unique little dances that shaped the pianistic craftmanship of Clementi, comparing to minuets, these dances deserved to be better known.
