Title Accompaniment to Madame Neruda

Item Type Manuscript
Subject Scottish Music, Accompaniment
Item Description This accompaniment appears in the scrapbook of tunes and accompaniments that Skinner presented to Mrs Barclay of The Gordon Arms Hotel, Keith, after his bankruptcy. Skinner keeps his accompaniments very simple indeed. This perhaps goes back to his childhood experience of accompanying Peter Milne on the cello. Unusually, Skinner has also written this accompaniment out in musical notation.
