Each piece draws its title from the name of a particular dance step used in cowboy dances; these dance steps are used as a point of departure to create the musical equivalent of a character drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Forward Six and Fall Back Eight' uses fiddle fifths, or the tuning gesture of country fiddling, and is a hoedown jig. 'Divide the Ring' is an homage to Gene Autry, one of the great cowboy singers; the main theme is in cowboy swing style. 'Varsouvianna' is a slow, simple, and dreamlike waltz.' Percussive, unpredictable in its accents, and virtuosic in its ensemble, 'Rattlesnake Twist' can be thought of as a jazz-driven equivalent of a tarantella.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor advanced players.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46966411919654,"sku":"9780193865785","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009780193865785_d.jpg?v=1697475449","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/larsen-l-barn-dances","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
