SPANISH WALTX [2]. AKA and see "Manuela (La)." G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. This tune was often used for a waltz mixer dance in Sicilian Circle formation. A two-strain version was entered as "Manuela (La)" in the mid-19th century music manuscript book of musician M.E. Eames[1].
- ↑ Although nothing is known of musician Eames, he was probably a violinist, perhaps from Philadelphia, Pa. (judging from some titles in the manuscript).
