Fiddle 4 (Mon) – Week 4

Our last class with Arto was all Finnish tunes. Here’s a new one a mazurka

Masurkka from Eräjärvi

The mazurka is yet another distinctive dance in triple meter, along with the polska, polonaise and minuet. Unlike the Nordic cultures, Americans have only continued one traditional dance in triple meter, the waltz.
