ZWYSKA. French-Canadian, Reel (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Researcher Jean Duval finds that "Zwyska" is a "particular" version of musician, composer and music publisher William Gow's "Fife Hunt (The)." The second strain of Boucher's reel is also reminiscent of section of the second strain of Joseph Allard's "Reel du voyageur (1)" (Miss Horgan's/Miss Forbes).
