From the authorrsquo;s preface: ldquo;This book was conceived four years ago; almost to the day; at a time when I was teaching fiddle and mandolin in New York City. It was my idea then; with my students in mind; to compile a book of the most often played; most important and most interesting fiddle tunes from the various Celtic and North American traditions.The tunes were chosen by cataloging a large number of recordings by tune title. A tally was taken to find out which had been recorded most often. This established a foundation of material that could not be left out. To this list I added the names of other pieces which had not been recorded as frequently; but which I knew were played regularly and with respect. I admit to sprinkling the collection with a few lesser known tunes which happen to be personal favorites; but I am sure they will hold their own when placed next to the old war horses of the fiddlerrsquo;s repertoire.. . . Although I started out with my students in mind this book has turned out to be the book that Irsquo;ve always wanted and I hope that it will serve the advanced player as well as the beginner.rdquo;
