Thank you! Yes, my aunt Marie (who the tune is composed for) is truly a person with a strong, warm light! ❤

You are probably right. Lars Hökpers (who composed the first tune) is from Dalarna, Sweden. The second tune is made by me, but I am born on the Swedish side of the border, very close to Norway. Culture and dialect are very similar on both sides of the border. (Music dialect as well as spoken language.)

​@@MiaMarine I think Norway lost some land area during a diplomatic land swap 400 years ago: Jämtland/Herjedal and your own district. I've heard that Jämska is a hybrid dialect, like what you spoke of. I think some music fits into one's genetic memory. Both my parents are West Norwegian stock, but the first time I heard music from Dalarna I fell off my horse. The accounting came later when I learned of a Swedish ancestor from the 1600's, a clergyman who came to hide among the tribes of Sogn og Fjordane. I suspect he was from Skåne, but I can't be sure.

The arrangement is made for culture schools with students on different levels, so there is a page where you can download everything. It is in Swedish though... If you scroll down, you'll find videos and sheet music for different voices and for different instruments. Here: fiddleacademy.com/polska-efter-jonas-olsson-2/

Thank you so much for loving the music and for generously letting me know that you do! ❤ The movements come naturally due to the movements of the bow arm, when working on the dance groove and phrasing. It is more difficult to play like this WITHOUT the movements actually. 😂 Standing (or sitting) still is almost impossible.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤

P.S. Jag menar alltså Till Lorens. Den är fantastisk!!!!

@@Haydn-WAM Hej Alexandra! Så kul att du vill spela den med dina elever! Jag har noter som du kan få. Skicka mig ett mail på: [email protected]

​@@MiaMarine Tack så mycket!! Jag uppskattar det verkligen!

Wow! Thank you for the tips! Great music, and very much related, just as you say! I love music that travels. ❤

​it's just wonderful how some melodies come together, as if by chance, in one song, it's as if it was determined by some inexplicable force, everything is history and a memory that we ourselves don't remember, but we pass it on. And that is the best thing that can happen to ancestral memory. It happened also here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haCxhJ2Cjp6AZpY Take care!

I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for telling me.

Thank you so much Edward! I'm so happy you like them! Welcome to visit the website for some free video lessons for fiddle playing (under "Free videos"), and then if you sign up, there are over 600 videos to choose from. Learning how to make your own accompaniments or practicing how to play fast or lots of other lessons + tunes tunes tunes... ;-) Welcome to www.FiddleAcademy.com

Thank you! It looked much better when I had the shirt zipped and the hood up, but it became too hot to play. 😂☠

Dear Mina: There is a link in the film description where you can find sheet music. Click on the link and scroll down to "Tunes to learn" and Click on Skrap Ollas Polska efter Glysen. There's the sheet music, for free. There is also a free tutorial. ❤

@@MiaMarine thank you very much Mia!

Kul att du gillar den! Oktavfiol är oftast en vanlig fiol som man stämmer en oktav ner. Det finns speciella strängar för det. Här t.ex: www.fioler.se/product_info.php?cPath=32_291&products_id=6865&osCsid=1ijipbnjldvki49o6qvrqvfnm5

@@MiaMarine oj! tufft!! tack för svar:)

Hejsan, Kul att du gillar den! Den är en av mina favoriter. På länken som står överst i texten till videon så kan du klicka och komma till gratis filmer på min onlineskola "Fiddle Academy". Då hittar du film med bara melodi, noter, tutorial och annat. Du har alldeles rätt i att Klang min vackra bjällra är en variant av samma grundmelodi. Lycka till med inlärningen! Mvh Mia

@@MiaMarine Jasså?! Tack så mycket, det ska jag kolla upp! Ps. Har du inte smugit in en 3:e stämma på D/G här ---> 01:04 Tycker nämligen det både låter och ser ut så när man tittar på vilka strängar du spelar på. ;-)

@@pqsnet Ingen tredje stämma är insmugen. :-) Jag svär på att det bara är två stämmor, men jag spelar på flera strängar i båda stämmorna en stor del av tiden. (Mitt stall är lite extra krökt eftersom jag har fem strängar, så kanske ser det inte ut som "rätt" stränglägen?)
