We did ? Where ?

Yup. Percy brought it up recently.

Turns out it was composed by Robert Schumannn in 1848.
http://www.musicsheaf.com/scores/sc...0/page1.html

Originally composed for Bassoon, and transcribed for violin in the Suzuki Violin Method (1950-1978)..

I first learned it (among millions of budding violin players in the 1950's and 1960's) as "The Happy Farmer"

Yeah dude. Didn't know it was "redwing" until almost 30 years later. Funny how the world turns.

Barry,
Nice job of playing for the amount of time you've been at it!
Red Wing is a good tune to get started on and just a good tune in general.

Adam, Barry posted this tune in the Sound Off topic area for comments on his playing, not the history of the tune
