234 - Ievan Polkka (Leekspin)

[@tidiestflyer7570]

All the songs you play, you are a quarter slower than the actual tempos. I dont know if you do that on purpose or if you dont realize it.

[@Seniorcit5564]

Every musician has the right when playing to make any artistic decisions they deem appropriate. You can play any piece however you want, as long as it feels right to you, and that includes the tempo.

[@Mightylcanis]

I don't know if he meant it as a slight, but more so an observation. It does give an interesting feel to his takes on the pieces.

[@Alex4n3r]

starts with 1:18

[@Salzui]

uhm he gets faster while playing

[@cadetp4939]

well not that you can do any better he has mastered the accordion for many years and you sir are being quite judgemental music doesn't have to be very specific and i enjoy the way he plays it it puts me into a jig

When played on an accordion, it sounds like a pirate song

The anticipation on the buildup just about gave me a heart attack. A brilliant interpretation demonstrating the raw emotion of your instrument. A little rough at points but some of us call that the 'soul' of a performance.

[@Ba1k3n]

I will admit that yes I got into this thanks to Vocaloids, however because of it I started looking into other Finnish songs and fell in love with the sound. I listen to this not as an anime fan or the like but as one interested in music from other lands.

[@lam92223]

i feel like a dynamic of storytelling. Even though this is pure music, I can still listen it like I get into a story and have a walk through. Like, starting slow to gain audience attention and lead them go into the song/story. Some "once upon a time" thingy... And then music/story goes more interesting and intense, having adventure. Later reach the climax, goes fast and excited After that, it getting slow again and expressing sth like "they solve the crisis, get to they daily life again"/"happily ever after" Since Ievan Polkka is a storytelling in original lyric(not really sure actual plot, I get the info from Loituma's video description, I'm not Finnish), I think this version can be leading BGM of musical/drama of the origin story?
