Kiitos, i'm very interested in Scandinavian folk music, especially Finnish.

I found the Finnish language very interesting as well.

Maria beautiful playing

[topsamite]

What does "Istunpa sänkys laitalla" mean?

[Naeddyr]

@topsamite "I'll sit on the side of your bed".

[topsamite]

@Naeddyr - thanks! With that clue, I managed to track it down elsewhere as "Istuinpa sänkys laidalla" (translated, maybe loosely, as "I Sat on Thy Bed"); there's a very nice vocal version - recognisable, but rather different version of the tune - by Sirkka Mostrom.

порво!

[athenanex]

actually, the first tune she plays is a Finnish waltz called 'Metsäkukkia' (Forest Flowers) - but it shares the first four notes with Sous le ciel de Paris!

[slin1917]

Very good explanation! The first tune she plays is the french "Sous le ciel de Paris".

Tack Maria för din fina undervisning och för ditt fantastiska spel!

[topsamite]

Beautiful: I'd also like to know too.

BTW, for those who don't know: what's she's doing here is demonstrating the two modes of the accordion. The first short section is played with standard bass, where you get bass chord presets; the longer tune is in the versatile free bass mode, where the bass buttons are an array of single notes.

What is the name of the song she starts to play at 1:40? or can someone tell me something similar? it's beautiful
