SWISS WALTZ [2]. English, Scottish, American; Waltz (3/4 time). D Major (Howe/Diamond, Kennedy, Kerr): C Major (Howe/Accordeon). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Although the tune appears in collections in Britain and the US, it is presumably Swiss in origin. There was a heightened interest in folk music of Switzerland in the decades prior to 1850, supported by stage performances of touring folk ensembles that often included Tyrolean yodelers.
