Item Description

Skinner has marked Fraser's melody 'Slow Strathspey Style'. The slow strathspey was developed primarily as a concert item - it was to be listened to rather than danced to. Skinner has made his feelings about the melody clear: he writes at the foot of the music that 'The above is a beautiful melody'.
