Lucka 3: Uppland

🇸🇪- Idag ska vi röra oss nordöst emot Upplands anrika vidder och sjöar, där vi hittar i landskapets nordligaste hörn hittar orten Älvkarleby, och en legend inom spelmannavärlden, nämligen Carl "Byss-Calle" Ersson Bössa (1783-1847), en nyckelharpist vars låtar ofta kan höras framförda utav både svenska och utländska folkmusiker. Detta är en Slängpolska efter honom, dessvärre finns det väldigt många fler, så jag bifogar länken till folkwikis sida av Uppländska verk, så får den sammanbitne hitta rätt bland alla noter om hen vill :)

🇬🇧- Today we move northeast towards Uppland, with history rooted deep in its plains and lakes, and in the northern corner, we find the small town of Älvkarleby, and a legend within swedish folk music, Carl "Byss-Calle" Ersson Bössa (1783-1847), a nyckelharpa-player whose pieces often can be heard performed by both Swedish and International folk musicians. This piece is a Slängpolska, notated after him, there is though, a whole lot more of those after him, so I'll put a link to folkwikis page on Uppland, and the determined person who'd like to give it a try can look up the sheet music if they'd so please :)
