Fiddle music in Sweden

[@beaconbeatsmusic]

A nice description of a lot of the particular nuances of fiddling. Thanks for putting some highlight on this wonderful tradition that doesn't get enough notice. When you hear Swedish fiddling, you know it.

I attended workshops on Swedish fiddle years ago in Minnesota and Wisconsin and have been enthralled with Swedish and Norwegian fiddle tunes. Thank you so much for this informative history lesson and for that wonderful link to Mia's Academy!!! I hope you also play some Swedish and Norwegian tunes on your channel occasionally. Thanks again!

Hi Carl. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, there are Swedish tunes coming up soon!

i have been once in Sweeden. i was able to learn to dance polska, hambo, schottis, polkett and stigvals. wonderful dances, where you need a good partner because in the couple both have to lead their own part. well....for an amateur fiddler like me this repertoire is "sugar for the ears" because it is not in a hurry like irish music...but nevertheless more difficult to play in good sweedish style or mood. here where i live there is no other fiddler to practice with, so i'm a bit sad about that, and your lesson talking the history of this kind of music is very much appreciated, thanks Chris!!! In Forlimpopoli there are 4 meeting every year of nickelharpa, one of my best friends is Davide Castiglia, you can hear him in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z368XpSZaL6qnsU

CAN ANYONE NAME THE TUNE THAT IS PLAYED FROM ABOUT 2:00 - 2:45 IN THIS VIDEO? IT IS A LOVELY ONE!

[@laurelpaulson-pierce942]

OH, OF COURSE IT IS NAMED IN THE VIDEO,.... Lahna- Villes schottis - after Vifast Björklund (1928-1988) from Överkalix, Norrbotten.

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Hi Laurel. It's Lahna-Villes Schottis. I have a video lesson on this tune.

Voice over is far too fast, and the pronunciation of Swedish poor.

[@applemanuk]

Harsh!

[@TheFiddleChannel]

...and I went to all that trouble to learn Swedish!🤣

[@niklaslang5224]

I am so impressed you really used swedish terms in the video! 👍😃 Thanks for yet another informative video, and in my swedish ears a very good presentation of swedish folk music! 🎻🇸🇪🙏

[@TheFiddleChannel]

@@niklaslang5224 Thanks Niklas. I'm glad you're not offended by my terrible pronunciation of Swedish!

@@TheFiddleChannel No worries, your good so just go for it! The worst that can happen is that you give us a laugh, and that is not a bad thing. 😉
