WELL-LEARNED SCHOLAR, THE. AKA and see "Scholar (The)." Irish, Reel (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. R.M. Levey earlier printed the tune as "Scholar (The)."
- ↑ Donnellan researcher Gerry O'Connor came to believe the ms. is not the work of the curate but rather was originally compiled by a unknown but able fiddler over the course of a playing lifetime, probably in the late 19th century. The ms. later came into the possession of Donnellan, who was also a fiddler.
