HEEL AND TOE POLKA [5]. AKA and see "Sultan Polka." English, Polka (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This was originally the "Turkish March" from Beethoven's The Ruins of Athens Opus 113, a set of incidental music written in 1811 to accompany the play of that name by August von Kotzebue. It was re-published as the popular "Turkish Polka." A version was entered into the c. 1890 music manuscript copybook of East Anglia musician George H. Watson.
