\u00a0 This\u00a0Springvals fr\u00e5n Val\u00f6<\/strong> is an excellent example of a special kind of waltz.<\/p>

The most common kind of waltz in the Swedish fiddle tradition is the\u00a0stegvals<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0It is a medium-paced dance of even tempo.\u00a0 \u00a0The\u00a0springvals<\/strong>, or running waltz, is much faster, and danced with very small steps.\u00a0 While the springvals may be found in many areas of Sweden, it is most common in Uppland.<\/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

This tune is from the nyckelharpa and fiddle traditon of the Wallin family, and especially connected to the harpa player Ceylon Wallin.\u00a0 \u00a0He grew up in the area near the little town of Val\u00f6, and learned many tunes from his father, Albin Wallin.<\/p>

Here<\/span><\/a> is a YouTube recording of Ceylon playing this Springvals.<\/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
