Thread Name: Waltz tunes with no repeats
Subject: RE: Waltz tunes with no repeats
Cumberland Waltz, Westmorland ditto and the Shepherd's Wife are all 32 bars long, or 2x16 if you break them into A and B. So that doesn't explain what's going on here.
The odd one out is The Man in the Moon: 8 bars A, 16 bars B - and the B part includes a repeat of the A, so when you play AABB you're effectively playing AABABA.
