Pekkos Per was an outstanding fiddler from the village of Bingsj\u00f6, in Dalarna.\u00a0 He got his name “Pekkos” from the farm he lived on, and his descendants still live on the same farm and still play the same music.<\/p>

This tune, Pekkos Pers “Masterpolska”, is shown on paper the way I learned it in the 1970’s.\u00a0 In it, the first reprise of 5 measures is played once, and all the other reprises are played twice through.\u00a0 Nowadays, most fiddlers combine the first two reprises to make one 11-measure reprise, which they play twice through.\u00a0 Pekkos Gustaf, a descendant of Pekkos Per, plays the first 5-measure reprise twice, then the others all twice, too.<\/p>

Pick the way you want to play it yourself, and it will be ok.<\/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
