Clout the Cauldron | John Davidson's arrangment of 'Clout the Cauldron' for 'Violin' and 'Piano' was probably considered too difficult for many pianists. As a result, it was greatly simplified for publication. Note at foot: 'To Engraver:- See notes - over'. |

Paddy's Delight | Manuscript in Skinner's hand of 'Hornpipe. Paddy's Delight [by] J. Scott Skinner.' This melody uses a non-traditional harmonic minor scale that would be unlikely to make it widely popular with players. |
 JSS0199 |
Home Rule | Manuscript in Skinner's hand of 'Irish Reel - Home Rule. The very simple accompaniment complete with held bass notes looks like Skinner's trademark style.
