BADEN BADEN POLKA. Polka (2/4 time). D Major (first and second parts) & G Major (third and fourth parts). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCBCD. Baden-Baden is a German spa town. "Baden Baden Polka", is the first figure in Boston publisher Elias Howe's Military Polka Quadrille. It is usually attributed to Philippe Musard (1793-1859) (although he is sometimes listed as the arranger not the composer), and was first published around 1845. The tune also appears in the mid-1860's music manuscript collection of Idaho miner and musician Peter Beemer [1].
