Polca Schottische / Schottische Polka ~ a tune from a handwritten collection dated at the beginning of the 20th Century and written by various people, most transcriptions attributed to the Pigott family of east Kerry. Breandán Breathnach acquired a copy of the manuscript from Con O'Flynn of Castleisland, County Kerry. This tune and possibly some others may have been copied from a printed source. A number of collections and sheetmusic, as for the 'German flute' and other instruments, were in circulation at the turn of the century, dated from at least the 19th Century forward...

In "Ceol Rince V" they have chosen to transcribe this as 2/4, which in my opinion does not do it justice...

2/4 transcriptions of barndances and schottisches (& marches), despite the usual swing in such tunes, is not unusual in earlier transcriptions...

To clarify ceolachan's comment above, the translations of the CRE notes were done by Paul de Grae; they are merely housed on my site.

Sorry Nigel, I missed adding that... I must be tired today, I've been misspelling more than usual ~ a problem neighbour who does not like music of any kind and yesterday pounded on our door to complain about BBC Radio 4 at around 9 a.m.... No, we don't put the volume up loud. This person is flat-sitting for the usual neighbour...
I appreciate the clarification...
