22 Jul 09 - 01:57 AM (#2685057) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Brahms Polka From: Joe Offer This may not be quite as obvious as it seems on the surface. I searched for "Brahms Polka," and the best information I could come up with was this from the Fiddler's Companion: http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/BRAB_BRAM.htm BRAHMS POLKA. American, Polka. D Major. Standard tuning. AABB. Indeed, a melodic passage from the classical composer. Source for notated version: Vivian Williams (Seattle) [Phillips]. Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes - out of print), vol. 2, 1995; pg. 335. I take it that this is a polka based on a theme from Brahms, and not a polka written by Brahms. Am I correct? -Joe, intrigued- |
