Short Cut, The
The reel known as The Short Cut was composed by Frank McArdle. Written in 4/4 meter and set in the key of G major, it is characterized by an upbeat tempo and an energetic playing style typical of traditional Irish instrumental dance music. Because detailed historical records regarding its exact composition date and early performance context are scarce, the tune is best known today through its lively melodies in contemporary session repertoires.
