Finger style piece from the 1871 book "The banjoist" by Frank Converse.

composer not known or indicated then?
"The song is by Michael William Balfe, who composed "The Bohemian Girl" (among others)...an often parodied tune on the Minstrel stage. I'm sure you would find this in his work, if you dug deep enough....from some opera."
That may explain the somewhat formal European/Spanish/Italian flavor. :)
Don't forget....everybody can access this music.
