While the tune has very disputed origins, it&#8217;s clear that use in Texas by fiddler Cotton Collins helped it morph this Polish Polish folk song into a Texas fiddle tune that Westphalia Texas claims as her own. It remained popular enough in Poland that Ignacy Podgorski recorded it for Columbia Records. It doesn&#8217;t matter who claims it: it&#8217;s a delightful, cheery little tune.<\/p>\n<p>Skills needed are: 6ths in the right hand and three note chords in the left hand. There are no four note chords. Some fingerings are included to get you started.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Westphalia Waltz (Pytala Sie Panni) ~ harp solo\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BYqlft5CUl4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen.<\/h4>\n<p>Barbara Ann Fackler has arranged the folk song &#8220;Westphalia Waltz&#8221; for solo lever or pedal harp.
