Your comment made me think, so thank you for that! My understanding is that (aside from some emphasis that happen in jigs when they're played at speed) the only real difference is in the notation. Can't one simply notate a waltz as a jig, and vice versa? I'm certainly playing it a bit slower here. Would love to hear more thoughts.
Hi Aaron, It's always wise to be skeptical, to explore yourself and ask others. You also may listen to mazurka's, slipjigs and single jigs to experiënce different dance tunes with 1-2-3 pattens. There's loads of info on the internet.
I think your first version is not a jig but a waltz. 3/4. versus 6/8.
(i.e. "The irish washerwoman" is a 6/8 jig)
