NATIONAL SCHOTTISCHE. AKA and see "Pretty Baby," "Snyder's Clock," "Military Schottische." American, Schottische. E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'B. The "National Schottische" appears in various publications of the Boston-based Elias Howe company. It is the first figure in "May Flower Schottishe Quadrilles" in his Musician's Omnibus No. 1 (1863), a quadrille entirely made up of schottisches. The tune was printed as a banjo duet in S.S. Stewart's Banjo and Guitar Journal (1886), juxtaposed against the familiar melody "Home Sweet Home (1)," a setting mirrored in the Glasgow-published Kerr's Merry Melodies (c. 1880's).
