<p>Well, that's obviously the same one I posted but altered, somewhat and condensed. I got it from "The Home Circle Collection of Piano-Forte Music", 1859.</p>

<p>Here's one I was looking at. Unfortunately Ira Ford doesn't provide any History in his book so I have no way to date it before 1940. I put in a version in E in case any intrepid banjoist wish to try it. I have a metronome app on my phone that I can set to 5/4 and that is a big help when trying to make sense of something like this.

<p>The first part is memorable. The 2nd part takes some concentration. The 3rd part is also memorable but jumps to the 5th position, but you're probably right. It could be an octave lower.</p>

<p>So......out of 'Nothing" comes 5-step waltzes!</p>

<p>Three key changes is not unusual for mid-19th C dance music. Some of them, such as Jenny Lind Polka, Detroit Schottische (Flop-Eared Mule), etc., that have remained in today's fiddler's repertoire, have been reduced to two parts and often a single key. But when you listen to the originals, I think the key changes really enhance the tune.</p>

<p>The other one I have in audio is simpler and a good tune but there are so many parts/variations that I am reluctant to tackle putting it into MuseScore.</p>
