Pickled Toe, The

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

The Pickled Toe is a traditional hornpipe in four-four time and the key of D major with an uncertain composer and historical background. As is typical for a traditional dance tune of this genre, it features a lively rhythm, a bright character, and a bouncy playing style well-suited for stepping. Because specific historical associations and exact origins are not well established for this piece, musicians focus on its energetic melodic phrasing and standard instrumental arrangement.
