Paddy Bartley's

Strathspey · 4/4 · D major

Paddy Bartley's is a traditional Irish strathspey in four-four time and the key of D major, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown.

Because detailed historical records and reliable associations for the piece are lacking, musicians focus primarily on its traditional dance character and rhythmic drive.
