\u00a0 This\u00a0Br\u00e4nnvinspolska<\/strong> is not a polska at all.\u00a0 \u00a0A polska is in 3\/4 time, while this is in 2\/4.<\/p>

Br\u00e4nnvin (close translation\u00a0brandy<\/strong>) was the common hard liquor consumed by the common people in the old days, and the name may imply a “drunken polska” in the wrong rhythm.<\/p>

In the province of Sk\u00e5ne this was a relatively common kind of dance, akin to the Angl\u00e4s, Engelska, or British Hornpipe.<\/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

\u00a0 This tune comes to us from the repertoire of a Fiddler named dLorens Brolin, who lived from 1818 to 1890.\u00a0 He came from a fiddling family.<\/p>

\u00a0 He was interviewed for the great collection of Swedish fiddle tunes “Svenska L\u00e5tar”, and this is in the Sk\u00e5ne edition, #1004.<\/p>

Here<\/span><\/a> is a YouTube video (apologies for the poor visual quality) of a group of Sk\u00e5ne musicians playing this Br\u00e4nnvinspolska.<\/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
