That would be great. I did this one because that’s a Hoot tune.

Sweet, I’m gona try this too! Thanks for gracing us with these dulcimer accompaniments, such a pleasant sound.
Would you be open to me utilizing this at the Hootenanny?

Bravo is right! 😀 Great fun and technical tactics

Lovely tune, and beautiful, crisp, clear playing Lisa. Another one I’d like to play! Thanks for introducing me to this. I love the quarter, dotted 8th, 16th and 8th notes pattern in tunes. You’ve done well with the 4th finger and gracefully adding double stops. 👏🏼

I agree, what a beauty tune. You play it with such ease, Owen. Thanks for sharing this waltz. I’ll be learning it too 🙂

Very pretty Tune. I would like to learn it too!

Beautiful Owen! Thanks for sharing this one. I’m learning it right away.

Well done Owen, with all those double stops! 👏
I also hear a Scottish undertone, which is really nice!

Thank you. This is one of the many new tunes I’m trying to learn so I can play with my local Spelmanslag. Composer Roger Tallroth is a Swede and I have heard him the the band Väsen a couple of times. He composed this song to the christening of his niece Josefine (“dopvals” means “christening waltz”).

Beautiful tune and great sharing of it on your viola 👍🏽 Your flow and rhythm work well for this waltz. I’m trying to figure out what dopval means. Thanks for posting this goal of yours for the community!
