Tune Annotations

Tune Annotations:	'''SVENSK ANNA'S WALTZ.''' AKA and see “[[Peek-a-boo Waltz]].” Swedish, Waltz (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Tom Paley informs that "Svensk" is not only the word for Swedish but is also a family name in the Boda/Raettvik area of Sweden. He was told that the tune was named for a woman named Svensk Anna (or, as it would be put in America, Anna Svensk). In America the tune is known as the “[[Peek-a-boo Waltz]],” a title Seattle fiddler Vivian Williams believes may have derived from the popular song “Peekaboo, I See You,” of the mid-19th century. J.A. Boucher's "[[Valse des fleurs]]" is a similar sounding tune.
