Thread Name: Why variations?
Subject: RE: Why variations?
Never could fully agree with John Kirkpatrick that we should play tunes for a great number of times to find every possible nuance and possible variation, I guess because my imagination is not up to his standards, but it is satisfying to hear what people can make of tunes when they have spent time with them, and arranged their work, It just goes to show that I disagree with myself, and leads to the question of what tunes are worth spending time on. I find that fast jigs and reels do not have the potential for expansion that slower more simple tunes have.
