KNEES AND ELBOWS. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. "Knees and Elbows" is printed on the same page as "Lets begin again" in London music publisher David Rutherford's Rutherford’s Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 2 (c. 1760). Both titles sound like a dancing master's admonishments to students to be more graceful and try harder.
