JOHN DOHERTY'S MAZURKA. Irish, Mazurka (3/4 time). G Major (Altan): A Major (Feldman & O'Doherty). Standard tuning (fiddle), ABCC'. An untitled mazurka from Donegal fiddler John Doherty, whose name is also attached to other Mazurkas. The second part has fourteen measures rather than the standard sixteen, giving the tune a somewhat 'crooked' feeling.
