'O'er bogie, H. 31a/16' is a Scottish folk song arranged by Franz Joseph Haydn. The composition was likely composed in the late 1790s, during Haydn's later years. The piece was first premiered in London in 1799, as part of a collection of Scottish folk song arrangements. The piece is a simple arrangement of the traditional Scottish tune, featuring a melody played by the violin and accompanied by a simple piano accompaniment. The piece is in the key of G major and is written in 4/4 time. The melody is simple and catchy, with a playful and lighthearted character. The arrangement is divided into two main sections, each of which is repeated. The first section features the melody played by the violin, accompanied by a simple piano accompaniment. The second section features a variation of the melody, with the violin playing a more elaborate version of the tune while the piano continues to provide a simple accompaniment. Overall, 'O'er bogie, H. 31a/16' is a charming and playful arrangement of a traditional Scottish folk tune. The piece showcases Haydn's skill as an arranger, as he is able to take a simple melody and create a delightful and engaging piece of music. The piece is a testament to Haydn's ability to find inspiration in a wide range of musical traditions and to create works that are both innovative and accessible.
