Dodworth's Five Step Waltz

This is an 1877 tune written by Mr. C. Nolf. I learned it from sheet music at
http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/hasm.a2315/ .

Dodworth was a dance instructor who wrote a book on how to dance. In the book he made up a way to do the waltz in 5/4. C. Nolf wrote this song, which is a waltz in 5/4, so there would be music for people to use with Dodworth's whacky dance.

I left the booboos in. They weren't too bad.

I want people to reuse my music in vidoes, so there's an MP3, a FLAC, and an Ogg Vorbis version on my blog at http://soupgreens.com/dodworth .

I wonder how people feel about leaving the mistakes in there, given that I could easily make them go away with digital editing. If I edited them out would it be better or worse?
