BEETHOVEN'S FAVORITE WALTZ. American, English; Waltz (3/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. "Beethoven's Favorite Waltz" was earlier published in the 19th century in England as "Duchess of Bedford's Waltz (3)." "Beethoven's..." was entered into the large 19th century music manuscript collection[1](No. 360, p. 100) of prosperous dairy farmer, miller, sometime printer and bookbinder, and fiddler James Barry (1819-1906) of Six Mile Brook, Pictou County, northern Nova Scotia. It is known that Barry had access to some of the Elias Howe & Co. publications and copied a number of tunes from them into his own music manuscript collection.
