Reci le zakaj - Sag warum, warum (V. & S. Avsenik)

Link to sheet music with bass runs and keyboard fingering: accordionmania.... "Reci le zakaj" (Slovenian for "Just tell me why") or "Sag warum, warum" in German (which means "Say why, why") is a waltz by Slavko & Vilko Avsenik from Slovenia (pioneers of the Oberkrainer style of Alpine folk music) which dates back to the 1950s. 3 recordings seem to be available; one by Trio Avsenik from 1954, one by the Avsenik quintet with vocals in Slovenian, and another by the quintet with vocals in German. My arrangement is based on Avsenik's trio performance from 1954. The waltz is very melodic and dynamic, and its lyrics are about heartbreak, sung from the perspective of a girl who remembers walking across a field with her love who promised it'd be forever, but then left her for someone else, and so she asks "why do I feel so bad without you" among other things. Avsenik's trio recording particularly reminds me a little bit of French Musette, and is a really beautiful performance which you must listen to. I hope you like this, although this one is more of a transcription with minor simplifications, rather than a new arrangement for accordion.
