“Irish Fiddle Tunes is the kind of collection that should be owned by friends who want to play together because they enjoy the experience or want to include some of the pieces on a recital.”

“Greenblatt’s bowings are well-organized…The harmony parts are varied, from twinning to rhythmic comping to more chordal ideas. Greenblatt has given much attention to detail in this volume.”
