MISS MAXWELL’S FANCY. Scottish, Jig. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB’. “Miss Maxwell’s Fancy” was printed in John and Andrew Gow’s A Collection of Slow Airs, Strathspeys and Reels (London, c. 1795). Andrew (1760-1803) and younger brother John (1764-1826) established a publishing business in London in 1788 and were the English distributors for the Gow family musical publications. An Edinburgh publishing partner of brother Nathaniel Gow, William Shepherd, also wrote a tune in honor of Miss Maxwell.
