Aaron Copeland ripped this off a Kentucky Fiddler. I study Kentucky Traditional Music. Kentucky fiddlers can't be beat. End of story.

This rendition is every bit as thrilling as the symphonic.
Stepp is cool at myspace too.

@apopcollapse Rodeo copland's ballet is 1942....william h. stepp 1937...music originates always from common people, the basic stuff is popular, a sort of genius of the crowd

I wish people would spell Aaron Copland's name correctly.

Stepp called the tune "Bonypart". He even says it at the beginning of the recording. It is based on a piano transcription of an interpretation of "Bonaparte's Retreat" in the ballet "Rodeo" composed by Aaron Copeland.

See above response. The transcription is of this recording, not the other way around. This information is well documented and easily publicly available.
