Enjoy a taste of the Finnish countryside with the unique, lopsided polska “Kospin Jonas”. Written by the farm fiddler of the same name in the 1700’s, this 3/4 tune uses interesting, crooked phrases and spicy chromaticism that will have you navigating all over your dulcimer. We’ll use a bit of hand separation, broken chords, and droning to create a nice little arrangement of this piece of Finnish folk history. Full class video provided!
