| Item Description | Peter Milne's melody is described here as a 'Solo Strathspey or Schottische', meaning that it could either be used as a solo concert piece, or used to accompany the Schottische dance (German or Highland). The struck through note at the bottom of the manuscript reads: 'This pretty tune is inserted with Mr C Middleton's [publisher, Keith] Permission. It appears in his collection for the violin in D major. The strathspey ['is', to left] was the composer's favourite one.' Beneath that is 'by permission of Messrs Bayley & Ferguson.' Bayley & Ferguson were the publishers of The Harp & Claymore Collection. |
