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. The second part has fourteen measures rather than the standard sixteen, giving the tune a somewhat 'crooked' feeling.
