Product Description
This arrangement of "Railway Song" is one of a series
of jolly and descriptive quartets
(and a septet) all based
on the Swabian folksong "Auf de schwäb'sche Eisebahne"
(= on the Swabian railway)
from the Tübinger Kommersbuch 1853
The music in this arrangement also mimics the speeding up
and slowing down of the train and its whistles.
