Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hebridean Song and the Laws of Interpretation
As to the performance of Hebridean songs, one cannot generalise, they are so varied. They simply must always obey the laws of musical interpretation, applicable alike to them and to the songs of a Schubert and a Schumann. I stress Schubert, because in him most often a rigorously driving rhythm is exacted (as in so much of the best Hebridean song), and Schumann, because inhim a broad rhapsodical tempo rubato is essential (as in another type of Hebridean air).
