Eight Step Waltz

Reel · 4/4 · D minor

The Eight Step Waltz is a traditional social dance tune of uncertain precise origin, performed primarily as a lively and rhythmic piece in standard 4/4 meter. Despite its name referencing a waltz, its musical structure and tempo typically suit energetic folk dancing rather than a traditional three-beat waltz rhythm. Because detailed historical records and specific composer attributions are not established for this tune, its exact age and provenance remain obscure within the traditional repertoire.
