title = "The status of the master fiddler in eighteenth-century Scotland",
abstract = "Eighteenth-century Scotland was witness to changes in the reception and function of fiddle music. While dance remained the primary motivation for performance, alternatives were gaining in popularity. In a parallel movement, the emergence of art and folk as categories of music was shaping the way music was heard and understood. This paper will consider the implications of these phenomena by interrogating the categorisation and aestheticisation of fiddle music in eighteenth-century Scotland. In addition, the status of the master fiddler and the development of the instrumental slow air will be assessed as indicators of these phenomena",
