This book is a mixture of traditional and contemporary tunes from the Scottish accordionists' repertoire.

It explores the common tune types played in Scotland, i.e. the Jig, reel, strathspey, slow air, waltz, march and polka. Some tunes are arranged in a traditional, dance music style where others have been set with a more contemporary feel as used by the author and many of the ?new age? of Scottish accordionists. Strong emphasis has been placed on the use of the left hand to enhance the style and arrangement.

Ian Lowthian was brought up steeped in the Scottish accordion tradition; he is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music who, since leaving, has concentrated mainly in traditional music as a performer, teacher and composer. / Musiques du monde / Partition CD / Agrafé /

On the one hand, the dances are of an educational character, aiming to provide guidance for left-hand accompaniment to various musical styles, linking of chords, harmonizing the melody to be played by the right hand and achieving a 'rich' sound. On the other hand, when played at a high standard they are also concert pieces appropriate for the stage. The pieces are recommended to advanced music school students and secondary school students.
