| Item Description | This version of The Dean Brig makes an interesting comparison with JSS0035. There are only very minor differences: here, Skinner has added his characteristic flat slurs in bars 3, 7 and 15. He has thickened his accompaniment slightly with octaves. Bar 12 has a very slight melodic and rhythmic difference to the same bar in JSS0035.. Skinner's note at the end reads: 'Miss Gray of Carse is original title. The Rev Mr Tough exhibited his name in Davies Caledonian Repository with change of title. Mr Peter Milne undoubtedly made this fine Slow Strathspey popular.' |
