My Own Fireside

⚡ The Short Version

Rhythm is everything. In this 3/4 air — the quarter note tied to an eighth note is held for a beat and a half, so the note right after it falls on the upbeat.

Two embellishments carry the tune. The birl, which always starts right on the beat on low A, and the taorluath to B, whose beat lands on the E gracenote.

Learn the first part well. And you nearly know the whole tune — the second part differs from the first by only two bars.
