HUNGARIAN WALTZ. AKA and see "Drink Your Tea Love," "Grand Duke Nicholas, "Nanagara Waltz," "When I was a Lady." English, Waltz (3/8 time). England; Shropshire, Lincolnshire, Dorset. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. A highly popular tune which may or may not have been Hungarian in origin; it appears in several English musicians' music copybooks of the 1830's and 1840's. The Hungarian Waltz title, however, speaks not to origins but to a specific type of dance developed in the mid-19th century from a dance form called the Rheinlander, or Schottische. Novelist Thomas Hardy, himself an accordion player and fiddler, mentions the tune in scene notes to his work The Dynasts (1904-08):
The 'Hungarian Waltz' having also been danced, the hostess calls up the Highland soldiers to show the foreign guests what a Scotch reel is like. The men put their hands on their hips and tread it out briskly. While they stand aside and rest 'The Hanovarian Dance' is called.
The tune, as "Nanagara Waltz", was entered in four parts into the 1850 music manuscript collection of musician and shoemaker William Winter of Somerset, southwest England.
