A Book of Maggots for the Violin

This is a book devoted to the musical maggot, a particularly or peculiarly English dance tune. This new collection of 92 tunes is taken from publications ranging over 70 years, starting with Mr Farmer’s Magot (sic!) from ‘Apollo’s Banquet’ from 1687. There are notes on individual tunes and the volume ends with a duet version of Dubourg’s Maggot.
