"Irish Washerwoman Schottische" is an American schottische in C Major. The parts
are played AA'BB'. The tune uses motifs from
"Military Schottische".
It was collected in Indiana. The source for this version is Donald Smalley (1930's) who was a fiddler from northern Indiana, who learned his tunes from his father, also a fiddler. Smalley was also a professor of English at Indiana and Northwestern Universities. This tune bears no resemblance to "The Irish Washerwoman" double jig. It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981). |
