Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
"Kansas Waltz" is an American waltz in D major. The parts are played AB.<br> I found this tune in John Lamancusa's collection. He says it was a part of Elias<br> Howe's collection but I have not been able to track down in what publication, if any,<br> it appeared.<br> There is sheet music on file at the Library of Congress of a "Kansas Waltz" by<br> Fred Hoffman, copyright 1885 by the publisher W. F. Shaw but it is a completely<br> different melody.<br> The melody is rhythmically interesting with syncopated measures in both parts.<br> It was printed in Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes<br> (2021).<br> It was recorded by James Bryan & Carl Jones on Cricket's Lullaby (2011).<br>
