It is impossible to imagine Scottish folk music without the violin. Its dominant castor is evident in slow airs, strathpeys, reels and jigs, while its versatile sound can convey any emotion.
Schott Music Scottish Fiddle Tunes contains 60 traditional Scottish songs for atmospheric performances and collaborative music-making. The moderately difficult to difficult arranged pieces are especially suitable for advanced players who want to expand their repertoire and absolute character songs. A qualified introduction to the style is provided by an introductory section that explains more about traditional playing styles, ornamentation and bowing techniques. The edition is rounded out by full versions of each song, available for download by means of a code in the book.
