 FRISKY. English, Reel. England, Northumbrian. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes which he published c. 1800. There are other period tunes that go by the name "Frisky" or "The Frisky", but this particular melody appears unique to Peacock's publication.  Source for notated version:  Printed sources: Peacock (Peacock’s Tunes), c. 1805; No. 1, p. 1.  Recorded sources:   UR-TEXT Editorial annotaton : When the Copyist has made a choice, this has been marked with brackets "[ ]" or parenthesis "".

Nevertheless, the trill signs have been subsituted with the inverted mordent. This ornament is sometimes called a transient shake because it is really only a part of the more elaborate grace known as the "perfect trill". [K.W.Gehrkens]
