A.B.
A.B. is a traditional hornpipe in the key of D major with a 4/4 meter, though its specific geographical origin and exact composer remain historically unrecorded. Played in the characteristic dotted and upbeat rhythm of a traditional hornpipe, the tune suits standard Irish and Scottish folk instrumentation and dance accompaniments. Because precise historical associations for the piece are not well established in reliable sources, its performance style relies on the stylistic conventions common to traditional instrumental dance music.
