Écossaise
The écossaise is a variety of contredance in a Scottish style, especially popular in France and England at the end of the 18th century and at the beginning of the 19th. The ecossaise was usually danced in 2/4 time.

The musical form was also used by some classical composers. Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven and Frédéric Chopin wrote a number of écossaises for the piano, which are recognized for their liveliness. The écossaise has a very proud rhythm.
