The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory Volume 2 (Volume 2)

The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory Volume 2 (Volume 2)

Fiddle music has long been a part of the American folk tradition, yet before the publication in 1973 of The Old-Time Fiddlerâ€™s Repertory by R. P. Christeson, little had been available in formal notation. Now, in a sequel to that book, Christeson provides scores for more than two hundred additional tunes, along with background information on the fiddlers from whom he has transcribed the music.
Â Â Â Â As in the first book, Christeson has arranged the scores by musical type: breakdowns, organized by key; quadrilles, which some folks call jigs; miscellaneous pieces; and waltzes. Most of these tunes are from Missouri, fitting because the state is a leader in old-time fiddling, with numerous contests and active local associations promoting the music. Both volumes of The Old-Time Fiddlerâ€™s Repertory are outstanding collections in an attractive and useful form.
