Recenzii
“An important work not only on traditional Missouri fiddling, but also on traditional music in the U.S. in the 20th century. . . . It will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in instrumental folk music in the U.S., either as a complement to the first two volumes, or as a stand-alone volume.”—Sharon Graf, Professor of Ethnomusicology, University of Illinois, Springfield
“In three important volumes, Howard Marshall has woven together the modern history of how Missouri fiddling gradually consolidated from a spectrum of local styles into serving as a significant presence within the ever-evolving contours of traditional, home-based music. A valuable repository of illuminating, and frequently amusing, personal vignettes.”—Mark Wilson, The University of Pittsburgh, The North American Traditions Collection
“In this information-packed third volume of his Missouri fiddle music trilogy, Marshall brings the stories of the state’s fiddle music to a personal level by focusing largely on the fiddlers themselves, along with descriptions of specific events and organizations. An active Missouri fiddler himself for many decades, as well as a folklore professor, now emeritus, at the University of Missouri, he had first-hand knowledge of most of the people, places, and events about which he wrote. Marshall offers brief discussions about the different fiddling styles in the state—from Ozarks style, to Little Dixie style, to Texas style, and beyond—and he discusses how Missouri fiddling fit into larger cultural movements such as the folk revival and the fiddle contest scene, but he wisely avoids discussions about boundaries and authenticity. Instead, he honors all the fiddlers with detailed profiles, often including lengthy interview quotes. It’s wonderful to see these fiddlers, who were musical stars within the typically rural or less-affluent cultural domains in which they thrived, lifted up and given the credit they deserve for impacting Missouri’s cultural landscape.”—Drew Beisswenger, University of Arkansas, author of North American Fiddle Music: A Research and Information Guide
"Anyone with an interest in the personal and cultural essences of fiddling should acquire a copy, and it will also offer plenty of fine material for students of both general and local Missouri History."—Missouri Historical Review
"One of the primary strengths of Marshall’s scholarship is its accessibility: his conversational narrative is appropriate for the general reader interested in regional culture. . . . The volume is well researched and fills a significant gap in the scholarship of traditional music."—Kansas History
"This book is a highly recommended addition to any fiddler's library."—Fiddler Magazine
