This book explains and shows in detail the various techniques used
by fiddle players in creating a traditional style of playing. All
the information is presented in the context of the music itself,
with numerous transcribed and recorded examples. It is aimed not
only at the beginner, but also the fiddle-player (and indeed
violinist) with some knowledge and experience who wishes to learn
more. For those unable to read music, a chapter on notation is
included. Particular emphasis is given to bowing and ornamentation,
with individual chapters devoted to jigs, slides, polkas,
hornpipes, airs and reels. The book also attempts to convey
something of the excitement felt in playing music which has a large
degree of improvisation, albeit within certain bounds. The
demonstration CD, which features a large selection of the
transcribed tunes and ornaments performed by Cranitch, is an
invaluable aid to learning as it allows the listener to hear how
the music and ornamentation should sound.
