The parts are played AA'BB'. The tune is a member of the large "Rustic Dance" tune family, wherein the first strain is the dominant part, sometime attached to different second strains. "Mason-Dixon Schottische" mirrors "Rustic Dance's" two strains closely both harmonically and melodically, with the most differentiation in the second strain melody. It was collected from Marion Yoders in Greene County, Pa. (1961), Walter Neal in Armstrong County, Pa. (1952) and Wilber Neal in Jefferson County (1948) by Samuel Bayard. It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981).
