The Clarsach Collection 2, Intermediate
This second volume in the series is aimed at intermediate level players, who are interested in playing Scottish tunes in traditional style. The level of pieces are about Grades 4-6, and various tune types are included: slow airs, strathspeys, reels, jigs and marches. Some of Karen's favourite Scottish tunes, and a few of her own compositions. Some fingerings and grace notes are added but, of course, in traditional playing you don’t have to stick rigidly to the written arrangement. Quite a few of these tunes are dance tunes, but remember that they don’t need to be played all that fast – the rhythm and phrasing are much more important than mere speed. 20 pgs.
