This review is from: Folk Dance Music of Austria: 18 Traditional Tunes Arranged for 1-3 Violins, Fiddles or OTher "C" Instruments (Plastic Comb)

Every tune in this book is beautiful! They are authentic and fun to play. The titles are in Austrian with English translations and also the phonetic pronunciation for the Austrian. The music is from various provinces in Austria and include waltzes,marches, mazurkas, polkas,and laendlers. I love the harmonies! The book also comes with a nice comb binding so it lays flat on the music stand.
