Thanks Peter .. Did you know it is noted that Soldier's Joy was Thomas Hardy's favorite dance tune... This clip is very helpful thanks as always .. All the best Guy

Hi Guy.  Thanks for the comment.

I thought that "Enrico" was Hardy's favoutite tune, and on one occasion, as a young lad, was heard to play it for 45 minutes on his fiddle.

The quote I heard was Hardy as an adult :he would rather dance to Soldiers Joy all night at a ball then any other group of tunes combined . ( Paraphrasing )

[pgtrimming]

So; maybe we are both right, in terms of (1) the tune he favoured as a musician, and (2) the tune he favoured as a dancer ;-)
