<span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Section A of this room resembles Section A of the Galway Hornpipe. The version recorded by J.A. is closer to the version on disc by Malouin than the one he had transcribed in the collection, with its double strings. Note, however, the reduced time at the beginning of the piece, which is only found in the recorded version of J.A.</span>
