Auld Wheel, The
The reel known as The Auld Wheel is a traditional-style Scottish composition written by the celebrated fiddler and composer James Scott Skinner. Set in 4/4 meter and the key of D major, the tune features the lively, driving tempo and intricate bowing patterns characteristic of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Scottish fiddle music. While specific historical associations and exact composition dates remain undocumented, the piece has endured as a popular test of technical agility within the standard Scottish repertoire.
