Comparison to
the Playford version (1st to 8th editions) |
|
Again, a simpler version of
the Playford classic, without the verse changups of siding/arming with your
partner, then your opposite (though this move is represented elsewhere in
this manuscript), and with the addition of the chorus switching who gets turned
first - another occurrence of this switchup in this mms |
Also of note: |
|
The description of the
second part in total is quite confusing, and I find it interesting (in a
nerdy way) that the 1st edition Playford is similarly confusing, though in
the 1st part, not 2nd part. I can,
with some creative reading, see how this manuscript's description of part 2
ends up being what I've written above, |
|
but I can also see how it
might get interpreted in a vastly different way … |
