This volume contains over a hundred classic and lesser-known fiddle tunes in hornpipe style from all parts of the United States, some with multiple versions. All tunes transcribed from the playing of some of the greatest traditional fiddlers of the past and present including Benny Thomasson, Bob Walters, Howdy Forrester, James Bryan, Rodney Miller, and Ruthie Dornfeld. A short introduction discusses the style and notation of fiddle music. A reprint of the Hornpipe section of Phillips's classic Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2.

Short dance pieces like these are a fun source of sight-reading practice material, more interesting than just playing scales and arpeggios and etudes. And a set of these is a great crowd-pleaser at any folk music event!
