Interesting Facts
- The Editor's Heritage: Martin Tourish, originally from Co. Donegal, comes from a family of noted 19th-century dance music collectors. His deep academic and performance background ensures that every arrangement is culturally authentic.
- Performance Practice: Tourish highlights that Celtic notation is often "skeletal." This book serves as a guide for violinists to learn traditional ornamentation—such as cuts, rolls, and slides—that define the "fiddle" sound.
- Multi-National Focus: Unlike many Irish-only collections, this volume includes rare gems from the Breton (French) and Cornish (English) traditions, providing a broader view of the Celtic diaspora.

Érdekességek
- A szerzői háttér: Martin Tourish felmenői már a 19. században is népzenegyűjtéssel foglalkoztak Donegal megyében, így a kötetben szereplő darabok a legtisztább forrásból származnak.
