Three Hornpipes - Tin Wedding Hornpipe, Golden Eagle Hornpipe and Ostinelli’s Hornpipe are pieces that my teacher Benny
Thomasson gave me to build technique for bowing agility regarding smooth string
crossing and for left-hand accuracy and strengthening as well

The Hornpipes take the place of practice
etudes with their extensive use of arpeggiation and fingering patterns, but
they are real tunes with attractive melodies and rhythms as well that you can
play in jam sessions and on stage.
