Mrs Forbes Leith

Reel · 4/4 · G minor

Composed by the renowned Scottish fiddler James Scott Skinner, Mrs Forbes Leith is a traditional-style reel set in the key of G minor with a 4/4 meter. The tune features an energetic and driving character typical of Skinner's repertoire, demanding a lively bowing technique and nimble fingerwork from the performer. While specific historical associations for the title are not widely documented, the piece remains a celebrated example of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Scottish fiddle music.
