The fiddle is an indispensable musical instrument in Irish folk. Its versatile sound is capable of fulfilling a wide variety of functions. No matter, or melancholy or dynamic - it is an absolute must. It blends with other instruments typical for this genre, such as flute or accordion, resulting in a perfect mixture.
Fans of Irish folk will be well served by this music book. The Irish Fiddle book teaches the techniques and ornaments necessary to create an authentic Irish sound. Notes on reels, jigs, hornpipes and polkas as well as guitar accompaniment make it easy to understand the content. In the process, Christian Martin, "fiddle player" and teacher, presents his very own technique in a traditional context, since Irish folk has a wealth of variations and styles. The edition is especially aimed at violinists with previous knowledge, who want to deal specifically with this traditional music.
