Book/CD pack. Renowned fiddle player and arranger Chris Haigh presents this survey of French fiddle music, with over 200 pieces for solo violin exploring the variety of traditional fiddle music found throughout the country. France is perhaps not as famous for fiddle music as Ireland, Scotland or Romania, but scratch below the surface and you will find a rich tradition packed with unique dance forms, crooked tune structures, unusual and exotic modes, and non-tempered scales. Includes recordings of each piece played by the author. Special import. 84 pp.
