Description
Jässpodspolska is a nice little polska from Dalarna in Sweden. Again we have made this arrangement with a rather slow tempo in mind, but it is still of the utmost importance for performances to maintain a heavy emphasis on the 1st and 3rd beats. If you watch a traditional fiddler playing a polsk , you will notice that the strong beats are the 1st and the 3rd beat of every bar – never the 2nd. This is very important to keep in mind to get the right swing of a polsk.
The Danish String Quartet is a classical string quartet with a passion for Nordic folk music. They've brought their unique arrangements of Scandinavian folk tunes to the concert stage and recorded them on a highly successful CD. Now, due to popular demand, sheet music of these meticulously crafted arrangments is being made available for the first time in a carefully prepared edition. We hope you enjoy it!
