Sheet music for Henry Purcell
Does anyone have sheet music (for solo violin, preferably) to Dance of the Haymakers by Purcell (from the Fairy Queen)? I heard Menuhin play this on a Purcell CD and really want to play it too.

I tried to get a violinist recording of it but was only able to get a Recorder version! So good luck in getting recordings. Let me know if you buy it and play it since I never hear anyone talk/write about it. Cheers
