BREAKDOWN, THE. AKA - "The Break Down." English, Scottish; Hornpipe and Reel. A Major (Kennedy, Raven): AA'BB' (Kerr). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is widespread throughout England, from Cornwall to Northumberland, and it is a favorite in the Scottish country dance repertory. The first strain is a variant of "Mason's Apron (The)" and is shared with Norfolk musician Walter Bulwer's "<incipit title="load:ship" width=850 link="https://tunearch.org/wiki/Shipdham Hornpipe">Shipdham Hornpipe</incipit>." Hans Nathan (Dan Emmett and Negro Minstrelsy, Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 1962, p. 93) mentions a 'Breakdown Hornpipe' as an old blackface minstrel dance or series of dance steps, although there may be no connection to this particular tune. American versions with the same first strain can be found under title "Wake Up Susan (1)" and others.
