Asiatic

Polka · 2/4 · D major

Asiatic is a 2/4 polka in the key of D major composed by John Baptist Malchair. Because detailed historical associations and specific regional origins for the tune are not well established in standard sources, its specific background remains uncertain. Musically, it is best described through its lively and rhythmic character typical of eighteenth-century dance tunes in a major key.
