    Downe's Waltz. This wacky and challenging ditty is from the Oliver Ditson Boston Collection of Instrumental Music, ca. 1850. It's in the public domain so a shot of the sheet music is provided.

    Hey that’s a great tune for a work out! Many thanks, like the key change too. https://abcnotation.com/tunePage?a=t...NES_WALTZ/0000

    Though much easier transcribed down to D major: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/z9si2...ikvhx288t&dl=0

    Thanks for the improved versions of the sheet music. I searched for this tune on the web and found nothing, but should have figured the John Chambers collection would have it! (I play with John Chambers sometimes and I think he's got most of those tunes in his head has well!). I like the workout aspect of it so (until I finally concede that it's gotten the best of me), I'll stick to the original key
