Reviews...

“Here’s another book for Scottish fiddle lovers, but this time you can invite a friend over to enjoy it with you. Deborah Greenblatt has chosen 46 tunes composed by 18th century Scottish fiddler Niel Gow and his sons William, Andrew, Nathaniel, and John. There is a mix of slow airs and laments, strathspeys, reels, jigs, and a quickstep, and they vary in difficulty from simple and straightforward to quite demanding. The notation is clear and chords are provided. The Gow Family Scottish Tunes for Two series is also available for violas, cellos, basses, and mandolins -- something for almost everyone! (Be sure to check out Deborah Greenblatt’s full line of books, many of which are for duos and trios.)”
...Mary Larsen Fiddler Magazine, Winter 2015/2016

“Who can resist titles such as Miss Graham of Inchbrakie’s Strathspey or My Wife’s a Wanton Wee Thing? There are many moods to be enjoyed in this collection of 46 tunes by 18th century Scottish fiddler Niel Gow (1727-1807) and his four sons featuring enchanting airs, jigs, laments and reels.

Deborah Greenblatt has arranged the same ditties in the same keys so that you can play with a friend on any instrument; violin, viola, cello, bass or mandolin. The ever-adventurous Deborah Greenblatt conjures the heyday of the dance-master’s kit fiddle in these charming, evocative yet eminently practical arrangements.”
