Embedded youTube VIDEOS
Six videos. Where videos contain multiple KEYS, I've given the clock times for the first selected keys, which covers at least one complete run, and some two runs, through both Parts 1 & 2.
Keys: F=5 D=1
Videos 1 & 6 demonstrate the match between the music and the dance.

Background Information & Links - Scottish Reels
Check out the following brief introduction to Scottish REELS in general, and SINGLE REELS in particular, including an MP3 rendition of MAXWELL'S REEL:
1. Click HERE for the Royal Scottish Country-Dance Society (RSCDS) page on REELS.
Their page will open in a separate tab, so can remove it to another part of your
screen if you wish.
2. After reading their brief general introduction, Select SINGLE REELS for more specific
information, an MP3 player for MAXWELL'S RANT, and standard sheet music for tune.
3. Go to the MP3 player shown, and click on the > arrow at left of player to hear
MAXWELL'S RANT.
This rendition corresponds to the button-accordion notation given above, which is based on
the sheet music given, and is thus a good source for practice. If you find the rendition too
fast to follow (or to play along with), click on the triple dot on the right end of the MP3 player,
choose Playback speed, and select either 0.75 or 0.5 (or even 0.25, if necessary).
