What I was looking for was the names of 48 bar waltzes suitable for a dance called "Cheltenham Festival" which I posted in a previous thread.
As many as possible please.
The preferred format is A B C (16 bars each) or A B (16) and C D (8)
no suggestions of A B B or A A B please. Even a drummer like me can work that one!!

Yes, but are they suitable for playing at 48 bars? Or would they wear out sooner?

Just Found the Cheltenham Waltz perfect for a dance called Cheltenham Festival - let's hope it has 48 bars.
but the good news is that ist was transcribed but Flos (P. Headford) who is the editor of Folkwrite (Gloucestershire & environs). Next issue due in a months time.
Now all I have to do is get hold of him!

Update - Chris Beaumont who was musician for the dance writing workshop has found a waltz called the Duke of Anglesey ('s Waltz?) anyone know of it?
I am about to re-visit the list above.
