Kevin Burke, one of the true masters of the Irish fiddle, teaches these 20 tunes taken from his vast repertoire of Irish traditional music. He plays each one slowly for novice players, then up to tempo with all the ornaments to give the learning instrumentalist the true feel of the tune.

This is not a book for the absolute beginner. You can expect to enjoy the process of learning...[and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune, of making it your own. Written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur. Includes a double CD featuring solo fiddle.

Canadian fiddler Bill Guest has collected and arranged 58 great fiddle waltzes written by a superb collection of contemporary fiddlers. The tunes are scored for violin solo, duet, or trio. This book comes with a stereo listening CD which demonstrates 30 songs from the book.
