MADAM NERUDA. Scottish, Hornpipe. E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Composed by J. Scott Skinner (1843-1927) in honor of Wilhelmina Neruda (1839-1911), a celebrated concert violinist of the Victorian era. She became Lady Halle when she married Sir Charles Halle, founder of the famous English orchestra. Skinner recorded the tune in the 1920's as part of his "Celebrated Hornpipes" medley.
