By kind permission of M? James Scott Skinner the best living composer of Scottish music I am pleased to be able to introduce some of his excellent tunes
and his system of bowing described in the following note.
Note: Examples of bowing. The straight slur (SI) is performed by lifting the bow smartly off the strings, both notes being taken in one up or down bow as the
case may be. The short note is taken with the end of bow. When the arrow occurs —} the first note is taken down and the other three all up.taking care
to re-emphasize the third note. The loopf f ft) is used only at the termination of a strain, the bow being dragged, along generally in a down bow. In playing
> ? ^ / | \
Strathspeys the D’s As * E’s should be played unison, thus: \ |' da \~ j then the effect will be greater. When closing a tune, the chord of the key should be
$f04
given as many Strathspeys & Reels do not end on the key but frequently on the fifth; Those who wish to play with the national touch would do well to study
this Note as well as MF Skinner’s other works.
