| Item Description | Skinner's manuscript of: Ters naesing like ta "Talisker". On the left is 'Pipe Strathspey', and on the right ' J. Scott Skinner'. 'March 6 1890' has been crossed out with black ink. Roderick Kemp, the dedicatee, owned part of The Talisker distillery, on Skye, and was a judge at the Inverness competition (1863) where Skinner won the fiddle prize. The common-time tune is in the bagpipe key, A major with G natural instead of G sharp, not available in the pipe scale. Skinner has given different melodies to the piano and to the violin. He probably devised the music so that the violin part is the 'real' melody, and the piano melody is a variation, which could also be played after the main tune, as in other Skinner sets. Below the music is: ''To Engraver - place Violin part in small notes over the air. for new MS.' Compare this to JSS0761. |
