BON TON [2]. English, Country Dance Tune (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Bon Ton [2]" is a variant of "Bon Ton (1)" but with enough melodic differences (particularly in the first strain) to warrant a separate entry. The tune is contained in an anonymous late 18th century music manuscript from a Yorkshire musician, currently held at the Vaughn Williams Memorial Library.
