Winster Gallop in C  - Anglo Concertina - Stephen Rowley
Channel: Anglo Concertina
Date: 2022-10-19

This is a dance tune from Derbyshire and fits the dance so well.
It is often thought of as a beginner's tune, because it has a simple structure and lots of repetition.  However, I find it a satisfying tune to play 50 years on after I first learnt it.  It has space and opportunities to embellish.  I've kept it fairly straight-forward here.
The Galop as a dance style became popular in social dance in Europe and London in the 1820s.  It can be seen as a stepping stone to the foundation of the polka which evolved around 1830.

Tunes like this fall out of the anglo concertina.
