Summary of This Book

Irish Fiddle Solos is a collection dedicated to the Irish violin (fiddle) that highlights 64 essential traditional tunes, crafted to sound energetic, groovy, and authentic. You will find a wide variety of dances and typical forms of traditional music: lively jigs, fast reels, characterful polkas, hornpipes with a distinctive swing, as well as slow airs to work on musicality and tone. The notation favors fluid and "violinistic" reading to facilitate interpretation in real-life situations, whether on stage or in a casual session.

Beyond the repertoire, this book stands out thanks to Pete Cooper's detailed introduction, invaluable for understanding the style's codes. It covers traditional bowing techniques, various accents and articulations, as well as ornamentation (variations, grace notes, stylistic effects) that immediately give your playing the Irish color. This is a particularly relevant resource for violinists wishing to develop a more idiomatic phrasing, improve rhythmic consistency, and enrich their fiddle vocabulary, while building a solid repertoire of traditional Irish music.
