Blue notes all the way and as catchy as can be : here comes a Trippar from southern Norway which I learned from Mia Marine. A great exercise for all of you who want to practice their nontempered scales and doublestops... and a super fun tune in general !
Tune : Trippar etter Lars Mjåland frå Åseral i VestAgder, Norway
Difficulty : 3 (some climbing on nyckelharpa)
A tempered version on piano adapted and played by Sverre Eftestøl : / 3tripparetterlarsmjland
Malungs Folkhögskola, which I recommend in the video : https://www.regiondalarna.se/malungsf...
Blue notes or microintervalls are all the notes outside of the western tempered chromatic scale (aka : all notes inbetween the keys of a piano). Quartertones are the blue notes right in the middle of a tempered halftone, but there are many more blue notes. These notes are common in several Scandinavian folk repertoires, notably mountainous Norway and western Sweden.
