The Fiddle Book
The Fiddle Book is about Fiddles, Fiddlers and Fiddling.
It is not about violins.
Violins are played in string quartets and symphony orchestras. Violins play sonatas and concertos and tone poems. Violinists are people like Jascha Heifetz and Isaac Stern.
Fiddles are played at square dances and hoedowns in the front parlor or the back yard. Fiddlers play jigs, reels, hornpipes and the like. Fiddlers are people like Uncle Charlie Higgins, Eck Robertson, Grandma Davis and Max Collins.
This book is about fiddles. It is the
most comprehensive document on the folk music fiddle and fiddling styles ever published, and includes the music to more than 150 fiddle
tunes faithfully transcribed from the playing of traditional musicians.
