TOW#22: Swedish Schottische

Swedish Schottische




I fell in love with this tune in the 1980s, and every so often it pops into my head and makes me happy; there is an inherent attractiveness about Swedish music which is hard to resist. I can't remember where I got it, but I suspect it's from a book in Edinburgh's Central Library Music Department, where I used to spend hours looking through dusty books. (Tosh: notice the key change in the 3rd part!)

• Standard Notation with Chords
• Standard Notation with Mandolin Tablature

Crikey, I haven't even got 21 down yet......better get cracking on!!!! PS thanks for the advice on the key change......I often overlook those!!!!!

This was an interesting one to do, I struggled a bit with the G section until I used the pinky on the 7th fret.......sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees!!!!!

Great tune Nigel.
Would go nicely with "Waltz efter Soling Anders" (aka Swedish Anna's Waltz), which Ceilidh Caleerie play for St Bernard's Waltz. (PDF attached which includes another Swedish waltz.)

A good tune which I've heard before quite a lot.

Does it have a proper title?
