Pytala Waltz is based on an old (and slightly bawdy) traditional Polish folk song, variously named Pytala Sie Pani (A Lady Is Asking) or Wszystkie Rybki (Dreamy Fish Waltz). It made its way to the United States in the 1920s and by 1940 to Bremond, Texas. In 1946 a fiddler in the Texas Playboys band recorded it as Westphalia Waltz. Since then it has been recorded by many artists, such as Hank Thompson, Johnny Gimble, Asleep at the Wheel, and Brave Combo. The present arrangement, however, is based on the original Polish folk song Pytala Sie Pani. This arrangement is intended for a small German or polka band, but the instrumentation is flexible: 2 Clarinets, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax (doubling Euphonium), 2 Trumpets, Eb Alto/Tenor Horn (plus Horn in F), Trombone, Euphonium (both bass and treble clef), String Bass, Tuba, Accordion (or Piano), and Drums. Intermediate level. Duration: about 3'50â€.
