Jig · 6/8 · B minor

The traditional jig known as The Forlorn is set in the key of B minor with a 6/8 meter, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown.

Because of its obscure historical background, it is typically performed in modern sessions for its distinct emotional depth rather than any specific programmatic association.
