SHERMAN'S RETREAT. American; Air, Waltz or Retreat March (?) (3/4 time). USA, Indiana. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC'CCBB. The origins of "Sherman's March" are unclear, but may not represent a historical figure; although there is a slight chance the tune could be based on a military Retreat March, which are often in 3/4 time. It is an unusual three-part waltz that is rather more complicated than many of the old-time waltzes played and recorded in the 20th century.
