| Capt. Francis O'Neill compiled seven books on the subject of Irish music—books of dance tunes and airs; books with dance tunes arranged for piano; and treatises on the musicians he saw as foundational in the movement of Irish traditional music. His (oft-claimed but not necessarily proven) neice edited the 1910 book of his tunes, and was a central figure in arranging many of his collected pieces for piano. Her claims of deafness in later years may have been a convenient overstatement of actuality. O'Neill's 1922 book was reissued two years later to correct a number of errors. Clicking on the titles below will bring you to details about each volume, and a list of existing dedication pages. |
