Скачать или смотреть Flying Cloud Schottische

The boom years of clipper ships began in the mid-1840s, responding to a growing demand for faster delivery of tea from China and then continued with the want of quick passage to the gold fields of California. Clipper ships were revolutionary, high-speed sailing vessels designed for rapid long-distance trade with sleek, narrow hulls, large sail areas, and sharp bows that cut travel time from New York to California from months to weeks and sacrificed bulk capacity for speed. In the early days of the gold rush, it took more than 200 days for a ship to travel the 16,000 miles around Cape Horn to San Francisco. Clipper ships soon cut the time in half and gained an almost sporting interest among Americans.
Launched in Boston in the spring of 1851 by Donald McKay, the “Flying Cloud”, skippered by Josiah Creesy and his navigator wife, Eleanore, sailed from New York City in October and arrived in San Francisco in 89 days and 21 hours. In 1854, she beat her own fastest run by 13 hours, setting a record that stood until 1989 when a 60 ft racing sloop completed the passage in 80 days, 20 hours.
The clipper era declined due to economic depression and the advent of steamships as well as the opening of the Panama Railroad in 1855 and the Suez Canal in 1869. In 1862, the Flying Cloud was sold to the Black Ball Line in Liverpool and sailed under British colors. On June 19, 1874, the she went aground in Saint John, New Brunswick. After she was re-floated, it was found that her keel was broken. The following June, she was burned for scrap metal value of her copper and iron fastenings.
This schottische seems to be well-known yet I could find nothing in printed sheet music form. I found it in the 1851 publication entitled “Violin Made Easy”, containing instructions for playing the violin, along with “a collection (of about 110 ) of the latest and most popular songs, polkas, waltzes, marches, &c.”
