\u00a0 Sparf Fars Polska<\/strong> is a well-known tune from the town of R\u00e4ttvik, in the province of Dalarna.\u00a0 \u00a0It comes from the repertoire of\u00a0Sparf Anders Andersson<\/strong>, a fiddler born in 1839.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0 Sparf Anders was esteemed in his home district for his great tunes and his enthusiastic style of playing.<\/p>

Stories were told of his almost supernatural ability, and he did not discourage this reputation, as it just made him more in demand at dances and other events calling for a fiddler.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One story that might even be true has to do with him playing at a dance one evening, and getting caught up in intensity.\u00a0 \u00a0He kept on playing for hours, even after the dancers got so tired they all left,\u00a0 and might have played all night had not someone come and taken his bow out of his hand!<\/p>

\u00a0 Here<\/a> is a YouTube recording of Sparf Fars Polska being played by a group of fiddlers from Dalarna.<\/p>

\u00a0 To the left is a photo of a painting of dancers done by the master artist Anders Zorn.\u00a0 \u00a0He incorporated folk traditions into his art as well as his life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
