A plaintive wee waltz for my first attempt at ABCing
This tune was a flute solo on the recent 'Spirit of Ireland' North American tour; dunno who penned it...
This is my first time wrestling through ABC format and I really hope this reads out as I intended; many apologies for any unforseen blunders. ... Still don't know how to notate rests in ABC; there are a few places (pretty obvious) in the second section where a lift (in or out of time) suits the form. Not a hundred percent on the title of this one; please let me know if you know this by another name.
I play this quite slow with a sliver of rubato here and there; not really a dance tempo waltz in my opine...
Lemme know what you think~ Cheers!

At first notice...
I just checked the dots for this tune and there are a few minor rhythmic mistakes (I've already gone back and fixed-em in the ABC...):
BAR 23: (counting full bars only) should - obviously - read as quarters not eigths.
BARS 29 and 30: The first two quarters of each of these bars should be replaced by an eigth and a dotted quarter (or an eigth, a quarter, and an eigth rest). This is important to the way the tune wraps up; it's pretty lame without this...
