Multiple Choice

Which of these is not a named arabesque?

In Cecchetti terminology, arabesques are given specific French ordinal names: première, seconde, troisième, quatrième, and cinquième. The second arabesque is named “seconde,” not “deuxième.” So the options that are correct named forms are première, seconde, and cinquième, while the form labeled with deuxième is not an official named arabesque. That’s why the choice using “deuxième arabesque” is the one that isn’t a named arabesque.
