"The Coburg Mazurka"
Some folks have this down as a waltz, but it has always come out as a mazurka in my ears and hands. I'll add more about it later, including as promised to button in some straight version minus the widgets (>)...

COBURG, THE. English(?), Waltz. D Major. Standard tuning. AABBCC.
The tune is contained in the late 18th century McFadyen manuscript, pg. 29. Coburg, Germany, was the home of Austrian-born Johann Strauss (the “Waltz-King”) from 1887, when he was an older man. He moved from his native country because he could not obtain a divorce from his second wife, Angelika Dittrich, in order to marry his new infatuation. In fairness, Angelika had her own discretions, and was not a fervent supporter of his music. He not only moved out of Austria, but converted to Protestantism, and was duly re-married in Coburg’s town hall a few months later to Adele, who encouraged him in his art.

Sorry, A-part, bar 4, the triplet (3Abc should have been (3ABc, so, making that correction I've also given another option for that bar as well, two triplets for one...
