The Old-Time Fiddler’s Repertory

The Old-Time Fiddler’s Repertory

Edward D. King, 1973

Description

Violin illustrations are big dot halftones enlarged from small halftones, then retouched by designer to rebuild some of the dot patterns.

Fiddle music is a firm part of the American folk tradition, yet little has been available in formal notation. This collection, based on recordings and notes made by the author over three decades, offers scores with commentary for 245 traditional fiddle tunes.
