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 Polka", is the first figure in Howe's Military Polka Quadrille. It is usually attributed to Philippe Musard (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].
