Broadaxe Breakdown

Reel · 4/4 · A major

Broadaxe Breakdown is a traditional fiddle reel in 4/4 time and A major whose specific historical origins and composer are not documented. The tune is characterized by a lively, driving rhythm and an upbeat character well suited for energetic contra dancing. Because its exact background remains uncertain, musicians typically perform it in a bright, rhythmic style typical of standard North American old-time fiddle repertoires.
