Re: Fast and slow examples
I wonder how much of the speed is locally determined. I've seen a fair number of Youtube hornpipes but our local experts play them lightning speed -- faster than reels, in many cases. And I just played a slip jig for dancers that was pretty zippy, when I always thought a slip jig was a little bit more sedate. I always end up playing (if I can) at the speed the rest of the session moves at and long gave up trying to make any sense of it. fwiw
