In the third piece the opening’s a bit “fiddle-de-dee” and leprechaunish if you ask me, but I’d consider the melody (it’s a jig) that comes out especially say in seconds 17-30 (it’s repeated twice in that period at different pitches) as pretttty characteristically Irish-sounding.

Unless I’m missing something really obvious, I guess I do really mean that…
