simon_thoumire Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I was planning a track to record this week when the The East Neuk of Fife sprang to mind from J. Scott Skinner’s ‘The Harp and Claymore’ Collection. I was just going though the variations when I noticed the tempo – 136bpm! It is ridiculous. I actually think it is too fast – I preferred 130bpm but in homage to the great man and composer here it is at 136 ? You can hear and watch it here. http://simonthoumire.com/the-east-neuk-of-fife-at-136bpm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Yes, a wee bit quick alright though I'm sure you enjoyed the challenge, as did I, listening to it! Edited May 20, 2016 by Geoff Wooff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboody Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm exhausted! A truly unreasonable tempo, and amazing performance. It must have been Skinner's party piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It must have been Skinner's party piece. This is a recording of him playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
