Hi Emily, The video Max sent is the one I was thinking of too. I asked my fiddler husband if there was anything especially unusual about Moneymusk, and he said some of the string crossings are a little tricky and it's not the most "comfortable" tune to play, especially in the B part. I think that's a feature of the tune, though. I don't know that a written out version exists that would be substantially different? As for making it inspiring, I think that's a matter of what the individual musicians decide to do with the tune? Maybe listening to a bunch of versions on YouTube and picking the ones you like best for being interesting is the way to go. There are plenty of tunes I didn't like when I heard one version, but loved when I heard another version. Good luck! Meg
