Navigation etc.

"Stepp's song [as recorded in 1937 and later adapted by Aaron Copland] is “a variation on a common fiddle tune called 'Bonaparte's Retreat' ..."

Listing Stepp as the composer of Bonaparte's Retreat here is done for convenience; he recorded a variation of it but did not himself compose it. Page Type thus changed to Arrangement.
