Scottish, Strathspey ("Slow when not danced"). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Mackintosh): AABB (White). Composed by [[Biography:William Marshall]] (1748-1833), and named after a celebrated dancer of the Edinburgh Opera House who often danced at Gordon Castle, where Marshall was employed. Marshall's first title for the melody was "[[Recovery (2) (The)]]," but because it was Madam Frederick's favorite tune to dance to, he later changed the title in her honor. Emmerson (1972) records that the danseuse was appearing at the Edinburgh Theatre Royal in 1797 dancing to one of Marshall's strathspeys, and suggests that it was the one later called after her.
