Musicians have habits - Larstunen on Nyckelharpa

When one is used to play a certain style, one tends to stick to it ! My interpretation of "Larstunen" on Nyckelharpa is a good example.

Tune : "Larstunen" composed or transmitted by Sigmund Eikås.
It is traditionally NOT in a Voss style, but rather something like this    • Larstunen   or this    • Larstunen  

Vossaspringar, the springar style from Voss in Norway, is a rare beast in the springar family, as it has the same weight on all three beats. Plus it's fast and jumpy. It's the one I'm used to play (and dance), so apparently I tend to turn ALL springar tunes into a Vossaspringar...

I'm Emelie Waldken, I play Scandinavian folk music on nyckelharpa & fiddles and I teach music and dance.
