This track is based on a polska played by Maria Sohlberg (1886 – 1973) from Munkedal, Bohuslän. She had become a respected fiddle player and attended the national meeting for folk musicians (riksspelmansstämman) in Stockholm already in 1910. This tune was documented in the ”Svenska låtar” (Swedish tunes) book series. It's tune number 58 in the volume covering Halland and Bohuslän. I'ts also called ”Gustavsbergens polska”. Svenska låtar is a huge collection of Swedish folk music that was printed in 24 volumes. The material was collected and documented during the period 1908 – 1940. Maria Sohlberg contributed no less than fifteen tunes to this series.
My recording adds my own harmonization and instrumental parts, effectively everything except the main melody. The illustration shows a train on the little narrow gauge railway at Munkedal around the turn of the century.
