Aberdeen, J^ubZis/iecZ b y JOHN , ROYAL MUSIC SALOON, UNION STREET. EDINBURG-H, WOOD C? LONDON, CAMPBELL,AR&YLL PLACE. ^l/?s7 r/Z.vo /be 7/y.if/o/'{/>/■ . lut/io/'. 4 SIR CHARLES. With sincere respect, I thank yon for permission to preface this Tolnme of music with yonr name. Withont your kind patronag*e and encouragement, the work had never, ( at least by its Author) been published; and heartily' do I wish it were more worthy of your acceptance. Not havings enjoyed the advantage, in my earlier years, of a thorougdi training* in the theory of music, my compositions cannot claim to rank with the productions of those who have made the science of music their study throug*h life: they are, as you, Sir Charles, and many of my friends know, the “fruits of leisure hours.” I would, however, fain flatter myself that the Strathspeys and Reels throug-hout the work, will be found to be composed in that style of Dance Music most appreciated by the people of the Highlands of and Banffshire. The critic in musical composition may, for the reasons already stated find a few errors throughout the volume; but, so far as possible, I have kept clear of the crime of plagiarism, by aiming* at originality in the airs. I may be permitted to say that it is no mercenary motive which has prompted me to issue the work: I have been led to this step by the flattering* requests of you, my g*enerous patron, than whom few* are better judg'es of the Dance Music of our country. This induce- ment, coupled with a strong* personal inclination to foster and cultivate, so far as my humble abilities may, a taste for genuine Scotch music among* the young and rising loveis of the art, must be my apology for laying my compositions before the public. I have the honour to be, Sir Charles, your most humble and devoted Servant,

Castle Newe . ALEXANDER WALKER. February, 1866. TO THE PUBLIC.

In laying this Volume of Music before the Public, the

Author bej^s to state that he has avoided introducing1 any embelti.shments througbont his compositions _ this has been entire, ly left to the good taste of the performer. It is veil known that the introduction of too many “gracing1'' notes Sic. into our Scotch Strathspeys and Reels, takes much from their na- tional character .

For the same reason he has endeavoured to set Basses to the Airs, at once simple and natural, as producing- the best effect, at least in the ballroom.
