Scoville | Folk songs for piano (58* d) | RE: Folklore: Folk songs for piano | 28 Mar 07 |
In the U.S., a lot of it is dance-oriented. Pianos are not portable enough, and a lot of dances were house dances that didn't have a lot of extra room and a lot of people didn't have the money for a piano. They are relatively common, though, as back-up in Midwestern old-time music (often in place of a stand-up bass). |
