5.0 out of 5 stars No Scottish fiddler should be without a copy, 12 May 2004
By P. Cowell (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Neil Gow was one of the most important and influential fiddle players and composers to come from the still-thriving North East fiddle scene.

This book is neatly divided into sections begining with strathspeys all the way through jigs, reels, hornpipes, marches and airs. It does not only contain compositions by Gow, but also documents those of his son Nathaniel, James Scott Skinner, Donald Dow and William Marshall as well as several traditional tunes.

I have had my copy for over ten years and it is still possible for me to find tunes I have never played before (there are over six hundred in the book)!

The introduction is lively and detailed, explaining how Gow was seminal in developing the distinctively Scottish-sounding strathspey rythmn, as well as his up-driven bowing techniques.

My only reservation is that the book is too heavy for a standard music stand, so you should invest in a heavy duty one to accompany this indispensable testament to Scottish traditional music.
