HEEL AND TOE POLKA [5]. AKA and see "Sultan Polka." English, Polka (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. This was originally the "Turkish March" from Beethoven's The Ruins of Athens Opus 113, a set of incidental music written in 1811 to accompany the play of that name by August von Kotzebue. It was re-published as the popular "Turkish Polka." A version was entered into the c. 1890 music manuscript copybook of East Anglia musician George H. Watson. The tune was adapted by the popular classical composer Charles d'Albert as "Sultan Polka."
