It needs a faster player than I am. Also, I had to delet the grace notes, as I just couldn't get any speed with them. It changed the sound of the tune from a light happy tune to a darker more serious sounding tune. But if your a fast player, you may be able to correct that. I also have the Rustic Dance tabbed out in pdf. But as Rob MacKillop informed me, it's not classical, but from the classic era. Still pretty. youtu.be/fhn9RMkcGaQ
