Thank you all for listening to some of the waltzes I started working on. 

These were part of a 9 video recording marathon I tried - to catch up with all the Parties and to push myself to relax. 

...seemed to help for relaxing to all I recorded, except the Bach! (lol)  

 

@Ilona -

Your playing of Elegie was beautiful! 

Did Edith Sohlström write any other music as nice as this? 

Thank you for giving me a better name for the Boda Waltz, too!

...still working on double stops before I record Lonesome Moonlight Waltz!

Actually I don’t know any other pieces she wrote. Her main job was as a gymnastics teacher. 🤸‍♀️

SWEET PLAYING! 

Sounded GREAT! 

I always thought that was a hard one, cause it never sounded like a typical waltz to me. 

Really enjoy your playing!  

THANK YOU, for keeping this Party alive!

@Mark  Really nice playing.  I got to play it (2nd violin) with the amateur ensemble group I was with a few years ago.  Wonderful tune, & you've play it well.

Well Mark, I promised more - so here ya go! 

I haven't played this in quite a while, but it's a pretty common waltz that I hope others will try.   

My shot at "Vals fran Boda" (Boda Waltz). 

  

oh boy, this is on my bucket list. well actually the November list for the Spelmanslag. Gotta work on this one next
