Narky Fiddler, The

Polka · 2/4 · D dorian

The Narky Fiddler is a traditional 2/4 polka notated in the key of D dorian with no verified composer attribution in historical records. Because its specific geographic origin and historical background remain uncertain, the tune is best known through its lively instrumental character well-suited for traditional dancing. Played with the steady, driving beat typical of polkas, its Dorian melody offers fiddlers an engaging modal contrast to standard major-key tunes.
