The Sporting Paddy – single reel in two parts – 32 bars in all. A dorian is the key.
When it comes to reels, bowing is all-important in bringing the tunes to life. So, bowings are shown below with slurs in the standard notation and, in the abc notation, down bows are in bold, up bows are not in bold.
