A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Marches &c.
by Bowie, Peter
Full title: A Collection of Strathspeys, Reels, Marches &c.; some with variations
Publisher: Edinburgh: The Author
Date: 1806
Description:
Lacks titlepage. Gore gives 1806; Wighton Database gives [1800]. The second item in the collection is titled 'Lord Melville's welcome to Strathearn 1806.' (Thanks to Nigel Gatherer for spotting this.)
Notes:
An unashamedly pianistic if simple collection, notable for attempting idiomatically Scottish piano ornamentation and variations.
Gore: B12
Biographical info: Brother of John Bowie, Peter Bowie (1763-1846) was a Perth piano-teacher and tuner. He and his brother held balls in Perth.
