From the book's introduction...
"This is a book of 23 of my own compositions, with melodies and accompanying left hand. I have also included a separate arrangement for accompaniment of each piece. There are 7 slip jigs, 2 reels, 4 airs, 2 barndances, 3 jigs, 2 planzties, a polka, a strathspey and a minuet presented in the book.
All pieces are composed in the traditional idiom. I have arranged each piece as I might play it once through. Background information is provided for all of the compositions.
Ornamentation is suggested in each piece, along with some suggested variations in both the melody and the left hand accompaniment. The 23 tunes presented here are part of a collection of over 40 composed in the last ten years..."
