Appalachian
fiddle music, based on
the musical traditions of
the people who settled in
the mountainous regions
of the southeastern
United States, is
widely-known and played
throughout North America
and parts of Europe
because of its complex
rhythms, its catchy
melodies, and its
often-ancient-sounding
stylistic qualities. The
authors explore the lives
and music of 43 of the
classic Appalachian
fiddlers who were active
during the first half of
the 20th century. Some of
them were recorded
commercially in the
1920s, such as Gid
Tanner, Fiddlin? John
Carson, and Charlie
Bowman. Some were
recorded by folklorists
from the Library of
Congress, such as William
Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and
Marion Reece. Others were
recorded informally by
family members and
visitors, such as John
Salyer, Emma Lee
Dickerson, and Manco
Sneed. All of them played
throughout most of their
lives and influenced the
growth and stylistic
elements of fiddle music
in their regions. Each
fiddler has been given a
chapter with a biography,
several tune
transcriptions, and tune
histories. To show the
richness of the music,
the authors make a
special effort to show
the musical elements in
detail, but also
acknowledge that nothing
can take the place of
listening. Many of the
classic recordings used
in this book can be found
on the web, allowing you
to hear and read the
music together.

1. Sidestep
Reel - In 19th
Century America, the
Afro-Celtic fiddle style
was the centerpiece of
many a dance. Reels and
hornpipes were very
popular forms. Their
repetitive, even-metered
rhythms were easy and fun
to dance to, and their
infectious singable
melodies stayed in the
mind and on the tongue.
More adventurous fiddlers
were given to syncopating
on these forms by
accenting off beats and
by embellishing melodies
with oddmetered note
groupings. Syncopation is
a fundamental rhythmic
attitude of jazz and this
movement is a celebration
of that art. The melodic
language is a home-grown
concoction of commonality
between traditional reels
and hornpipes and the
Baroque, Ragtime and the
quartal concepts of
Modern Jazz. 2. As the
Wind Goes - the
wistful late night song
of a lullabye, a campfire
song, a ballad...a
spiritual. It is sung as
if on the wind, yearning
to experience once again
that which will only ever
again live as memory. 3.
Jones’ Jig -
the Irish Jig, the
African 6/8 bell pattern,
the shuffle rhythm of
jazz and the drum style
of Elvin Jones all play
around with the
relationship of 3 in the
time-space of 2. The
juxtaposition,
negotiation and
reconciliation of these
opposing rhythmic
perspectives create
interesting musical
relationships all over
the globe. 4.
Nicola’s
Strathspey - In the
traditional Strathspey,
improvised
embellishments,
syncopated dotted rhythms
and the use of space
between notes create
expectation, momentum and
surprise. These same
elements and their effect
on the listener are the
same in the blues. It
seems like a natural
marriage. 5. Bye Bye
Breakdown - This is
good ol’, Saturday
night barn dance, hoedown
fiddling. It revels in
the whining cry of open
double stops, in all
types of musical
onomatopoeia from train
sounds to animal calls to
country whistling, and in
the steady 2/4 rhythm
that is as basic as
walking. The harmonic
framework of several
popular fiddle and folk
tunes provide a practical
grid for the cutting of
challenging melodic and
rhythmic figures. It is
designed to tire fiddler
and dancers out. Then we
stomp our way home in
varying states of delight
and disrepair.Solo Violin

A
violinist herself, Lauren
Bernofsky has described
SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN as
drawn from
autobiographical
inspiration, including
gestures from Bachâ??s
beloved Partita in E
Major. Bernofsky opens
with a Preludio movement
whose references to Bach
may be disguised, but
they are surely lurking.
The second movement is
lusciously contrapuntal
with the idiomatic
finesse of a violinist
composing for her own
instrument, while
musically journaling the
emotional pain of living
through 2020. The third
and final movement is
aptly marked
â??white-hot,â? and
the music certainly
is. My SONATA FOR SOLO
VIOLIN was commissioned
by violinist Megan Healy
as part of The Maud
Powell Project, which
celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the
ratification of the 19th
Amendment. The project
included the creation of
five new works for solo
violin inspired by and
dedicated to the memory
of pioneering American
violinist Maud Powell
(1867-1920). Healy
premiered the sonata on
May 8, 2021 at PianoForte
Studios in Chicago.Among
the works Powell most
frequently performed in
her recitals was the
â??Preludioâ?
movement from Bachâ??s E
major Partita, and I
decided to refer to that
music in my own first
movement, also titled
â??Preludio.â? The
beginning subtly reflects
Bachâ??s opening
three-note motive,
wherein the music dips
down a semitone and then
comes back up. This
melodic material returns
throughout the movement
in various forms. I also
refer to Bachâ??s
sixteenth-note dominated
texture, and the gesture
in the third measure,
which outlines a perfect
fifth and then fills it
in with notes that
alternate between a scale
and a pedal tone. The
corresponding passage in
my piece occurs in the
same place, measure 3.
Apart from these
references to Bach, my
sonata is much more
modern sounding,
especially in its
chromatic character.I was
still thinking of
Bachâ??s solo violin
writing while composing
the second movement,
particularly the
polyphonic nature of the
slow movements, where the
melodic interest moves
around between the
voices. Emotionally, I
wanted my movement to
reflect the acute sadness
I had been experiencing
over the political and
social situation in the
United States as I wrote
the piece. I realized
that this is a
historically noteworthy
time in U.S. history,
marked not only by
political unrest, but
also by a challenge to
the very values that I
consider essential to
what makes a person
fundamentally human. I
wanted to create a record
of that pain in my
music.The final movement
is marked
â??White-hot.â? It is
imbued with a relentless,
passionate intensity.
Wanting again to reflect
aspects of our own time,
I included glissandi that
refer to rock music,
specifically the
â??fall-offsâ? I
frequently hear played by
electric guitarists. I
borrowed from another
(completely different)
musical tradition as
well, one that is
near-and-dear to my
heart: Klezmer. Klezmer
(Eastern European Jewish
folk music) is
characterized in part by
scales colored by
augmented seconds, and is
often performed by solo
instrumentalists who
improvise embellishments
like quick grace notes.
The second, more lyrical
theme in this movement is
my nod to Klezmer
style.While this piece is
an homage to Maud Powell,
I also think of it as my
own musical
autobiography, as it
combines some of my
favorite aspects of
music, and is played on
my own instrument.

How long
should I practice? Which
pieces should I study?
How can I develop a
singing tone? All
violinists ponder these
questions, striving to
make the most of their
practice and
performances. This
enlightening and
encouraging book holds
the answers, offering a
series of interviews with
the most celebrated
violin teachers and
performers of the
nineteenth and early
twentieth
centuries.Twenty-four
famous violinists reveal
the secrets of their
success, sharing the
lessons of their artistry
and experience. In
addition to aesthetic and
technical aspects of
playing, they discuss
their personal
conceptions of violin
mastery. Eugene Ysaye
reminisces about his
studies with Vieuxtemps
and Wieniawski, and
Leopold Auer emphasizes
the importance of
fostering students'
individual talents. Maud
Powell describes her
pioneering role as a
female orchestral
musician, and Jascha
Heifetz voices his views
on technical mastery and
temperament. Hints and
advice from other masters
include tips on efficient
practice, immproving bow
technique, and refining
intonation. A rare find
in musical literature,
this book is essential
reading for every serious
violinist.Dover (2006)
