This volume contains over a hundred classic and lesser-known American country waltzes (slow 3/4 dances) collected 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, Howdy Forrester, J. T. Perkins, Lloyd Wanzer, Jay Ungar, Vivian Williams, Skip Gorman, Texas Shorty, Kenny Baker, and others. A short introduction discusses the style and notation of fiddle music. A reprint of the Waltz 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. I guarantee a few members of your audience will get up and dance to these if you place these at any local folk music event!
