Thread Name: intonation in fiddle music
Subject: RE: intonation in fiddle music
Is it possible to able to move between all these ethnic styles with their different intonations? I would have thought that the ear would become confused. For example, if you were to listen to Liz Carroll play a particular Irish fiddle tune and then, immediately after, listen to an older player from Sligo or Clare perform the same tune, with his different approach to intonation, I bet your ears would rebel in some way.
