Oops - I'm afraid the mistake was mine. My apologies. 'Mule Music' is listed in Ten Songs. I assume the postings above were a response to mine, and must say that despite its title, 'Mule Music' is as far as it's possible to get from a comic song. Also, despite the original cover, it's a long way from a sentimental ballad. It depicts the life of an abused animal, that eventually finds peace in death. The poem (I can't remember who it's by) illustrates the life of the mule in largely musical terms "Key A minor, measure common, one and two and three and four", and Walthew follows these indications exactly. It should be played crochet = 60 so that the constant quavers illustrate the poem: "Every hoofbeat, half a second", but in the performances I have heard it has been played far too fast. Then at the end the song modulates into a luminous A major. It's well worth hearing.
I have also had the privilege of playing secundo in the 'Introduction, Air and Jig for Piano Duet'. That, too, is a wonderful piece, with a typical Walthew melodic slow movement, and a frenetic last movement. It is such a shame that this music is not played. It was nice, however, to listen to the recent recording of the Prelude and Fugue for two clarinets and bassoon.
