Great interpretation. Are there any notes for your version?

When I listen to this video, and I do quite often, I don't think I have ever heard a more powerful musette tuning. Would this be described as a French musette tuning ?

[tactac21]

Hi Donalrondo, No I don't think this accordion would be considered a French musette tuned accordion but it does have a great musette sound for many different kinds of music and it's not to wet where it sounds off key when I play with the other instruments in my band. Henry

[ferdinandocarlomagno]

You play with great passion. Very good !*****

[tactac21]

Thanks for the comments Terry. Glad to see you that you're playing the accordion again. Henry

[terrygrif]

Wow! What fantastic playing and such feeling for this beautiful waltz. Congratulations. I could listen to your music for hours!

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

[donalrondo]

Henry, regardless of which version you play, you play with great expression, a

beautiful melody, thanks for sharing with

us.

[tactac21]

Thanks for the comment Donalrondo. Yes,this is a beautiful melody. Like in so many Russian pieces,it brings out a touch of sadness shrouded with a wonderful melody very reminisce,I suppose,of what the Russian people have endured throughout history. I really appreciate the fact that you saw some expression in my playing of the song. I favour playing more from the heart then the head. Henry

Please, excuse me, I think I confused this waltz with the one in my former commentary, but there is reason for it, if you compare them. The work by Dmitri Shostakovich (which is the one André Rieu plays) is very close to the one I misstook. A very nice version of this is played by a girl in YouTube (as the others recommended) ´Vilma plays Accordion Valz no. 2, Dimitrij Sjostakovitj'

[tactac21]

Vilma's rendition of waltz no. 2 is very good as is Jari's rendition of Mantshuurian kukkuoilla. Henry

[fibarran]

Nice performance but .... I think you would enjoy more playing and sharing your art if you hear more than André Rieu's version. I recommend you to look for 'Mantshuurian kukkuloilla', and 'Soviet songs by Dmitri Hvorostovskji' (vocal version), much better versions of this beautiful waltz composed after the Russian - Japanese war a century ago.

[tactac21]

Thanks for the comment Fernando. Yes,I always thought this song I play ,Waltz no. 2,is similar to Mantshuurian kukkuoilla (also known as Waltzin to Mongolia) . I do play both songs. I did learn Waltz no. 2 from an Andre Rieu performance. Henry

[RomydeJesus]
