N:MS time sig is 5/4 in ms. This is convincing proof to me that
N:Clare,Poet
N:wasn’t merely copying tunes from printed sources all the time , and
N:that he may have been trying to make an accurate transcription of a
N:performance. Whether he was entirely successful or not, given some of
N:the grammatical problems with some of the tunes, is problematical, to
N:say the least. Nevertheless, this tune and others in this MS would
N:repay some very close study with fiddle in hand. CGP…

T:Redowa Polka, aka. JC.263
R:Polka
S:John Clare,Poet,Helpstone (1793-1864)
N:This is the well known Redowa Polka, although untitled in the MS.
N:It raises one or two points. Firstly, polkas were not introduced
N:into this country until 1848, according to V.Sylvester and
N:J.Richardson, yet a couple of tunes ago we were apparently in
N:1834. Secondly,whoever pricked it down was not at all familiar
N:with the polka rhythm, especially the time sig.
N:Either “T.Williams,1834″ refers to something other than the
N:collection date,or John Clare put the MS down for a few years and
N:came back to it in a fit of sanity, or enthusiasm for the new dance
N:rhythm, or somebody else entirely was responsible for entering this
N:tune (not by any means rare in fiddlers tune books) Reference t
