Thread Name: english concertina and irish music
Subject: english concetrina and irish music
There are several reasons why the english is suitable for irish music,most fiddle ornamentation can be successfully used on the english. fiddle rolls, fiddle trebles[ four note ornaments in jig time].pipers crans can be done, octave triplets, playing phrases in octaves,my tutor gives examples of this. accordion type ornamentation works well, and a lovely flowing legato stylewhich is still danceable canbe acheieved through use of finger attack.fiddle rolls are particuarly suited to the english but more difficult on the anglo.
