En ole suomalainen, mutta osaan puhua vähän kieltä. Tämä laulu on todella kaunis ja haitarissasi on niin syvä ääni. Kiitos paljon ja tervesiä Amerikasta!

Really amazing, I've been listening to this nonstop!! Greetings from Sweden! 👍

I just hear that echoing through the empty room and I just imagine all you in an empty apartment where all you do is play accordion and your neighbors absolutely despise you because this song is bleeding through their walls at all hours in the night

[@jarinykanen]

Actually you are partly right about the empty apartment. Part of my videos were filmed while I lived in a student apartment which had a big kitchen/living room without furniture or textiles. So, I used that room as my personal studio. I admit that it wasn't the best place to film because of the echoing but it was way better then my small room. And about neighbors, I never got complains although my friend (who lived in the same apartment building but on the other side of it) told that he could clearly hear me playing accordion.

@@jarinykanen there were no complaints because you played well

After hearing this performance, my face is basically like the plug on the back wall O.O. Very nice!

Ellin Polkka is indeed similar to Levan Polkka (1st section) but there are differences. The music heard in this video is the same music that Viola Turpeinen recorded circa 1949 for Standard Record Company [F - 5077, matrix 11-182]. The piece is labelled Ellin Polkka (Levan Polkka). The first section mirrors recent KZbin performances of Levan Polkka but other sections are different and exclusive to Ellin. It would be great if someone were to compile a collection of the great older Finnish accordion Schottiis, Polkkas, Waltzes, and mazurkas - - if such a collection exists, I, for one, would like to know (I've been searching for such a collection for 60 years!) I hear great performances of this music on KZbin, but! Where is the printed music?

[@Thetarget1]

You can find some here: www.folkwiki.se/Platser/Finland. But I would also be interested in one specifically for Finland.

[@46olli]

Hienosti soi polokka! Itekin olen hiukan tätä soitellut, mutta en pärjää tälle haitaristille!

[@ChickensandHorses]

Wow. WOW. Love this! Goodness the talent you must have to possess to play like that! I love this. :) Sent it to my good friend, I am not musically talented in the least but I appreciate talent when I hear it, and you have it! :D Wow.

сама мелодия и мелодична и бодра а при хорошем исполнении бодрость и мелодичность только удваевается.

[@user-mz7gd9fn3p]

Ellin Polkka isn't Ievan Polkka, but Evan Polkka.

[@erkkisalmiranta7778]

Ilo kuunnella ja katsoa soittotaitoasi!

Se käy kun sen osaa. Ellin polkasta olen aina tykännyt ja kyllä oli taas tosi taitavaa soittamista.

[@josippero]

Hi! Do you have the scores?

[@user3141592635]

The Japanese is lacking.
