Fiddle music.
Found in 39 Collections and/or Records:
Music book of Robert Kelsall, consisting of over 500 songs, and settings for fiddle, of a broad range of music., [Circa 1735-circa 1747.]
The music book includes traditional material both English and Scottish, the works of Purcell, Pepusch, and Corelli, and those of slightly later composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, and McGibbon.
Robert Kelsall was apparently interested in trumpet music, for the volume contains numerous trumpet minuets, and a transcript of 'Trumpet tune' by Nicola Matteis.
Music book of William Anderson, Edinburgh., [Circa 1805.]
Music book of William Berry of Tayfield, Writer to the Signet, compiled from 1789., 18th century.
Many of the tunes are taken from the publications of Niel Gow, but a number appear to originate in Fife (including several compositions by the Countess of Balcarres) and some are otherwise unknown. The book at one time belonged to H M Willsher, the musicologist.
Music book of William Fraser, schoolmaster at Frachadale, in the parish of Kilninian, Mull., [Circa 1785.]
The music book contains tunes for the fiddle, many with variations, gathered from the published collections of the day.

Pencil notes are written throughout each volume in a hand similar to that in which the additional tunes are written.
