The first appearance of this jig is found in Francis O'Neill's celebrated collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. O'Neill obtained the tune form Chicago police patrolman, piper and flute player John Ennis, originally from County Kildare, Ireland.
This is étude No. 17 from Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Gariboldi's collection of 30 Etudes faciles et progressives.
Today's piece is duet No. 6 from the first volume of Ernesto Köhler's Twenty Easy Melodic Progressive Studies.

Today we have a new contribution from our guest composer from the Netherlands, Paul Merkus. This piece was originally written in 1994 for solo piano, and has now been arranged for flute and piano.
The piece starts with an intro in the low register, followed by a second theme with Mozartian embellishments, accompanied by an Alberti bass.
After a quiet interlude (in two positions), the actual “LeapFrog” theme follows. Here, I have the image of a frog leaping from one leaf of water lily to another: “a frog that leaps,” which, through a pun, leads to the title “LeapFrog.”
Finally, this short piece ends with a buildup towards to final eight bars in maestoso style.
This single jig is taken from Francis O'Neill's collection Music of Ireland, published in Chicago in 1903. The tune has been employed for the English country dance “Jack's Health” since at least the early 1970s. As a result, it is sometimes erroneously assumed to be an old English dance tune.
This is the last étude from Ernesto Köhler's 25 Romantic Studies, Op. 66. It consists of a lively “Allegro vivo” in E major and a melancholic Andantino in A minor.
This is the last duet in D major from the 55 Easy Pieces by Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. The French word faineant indicates an irresponsible or lazy person.
