MR. PETER ANDERSON'S REEL. Scottish, Reel (cut time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. "Mr. Peter Anderson's" is a reel from the sole publication of fiddler-composer John Clark, who dedicated his volume to the Musical Society of Perth. Unfortunately, there is no further information to be had on Clark (John Glen and David Baptie are silent). Peter Anderson may have been a relative of John Anderson, who had a music shop in Perth and who printed Clark’s collection.
