That's a very nice version of this old Welsh tune. There's a setting of it in a fiddler's manuscript (Morris Edward from Anglesey) dated from 1778, so it could possibly pre-date the Waltz craze that took a hold on Europe in the early 19th century. I therefore wonder if these tunes, whilst being in 3/4 time, were played differently to how we think of 'waltzes' now. An accordionist in our regular music session plays it more like a French Bouree but that's maybe a little fast. I guess we'll never know how they were played at the time but at least they have survived for us to enjoy in the present day.

Very nice! In my mind the ending begs to be resolved, but the uniqueness of this tune is that it isn't.

The best video on string crossing I've found on youtube so far! 👍🙏

Thanks for this wonderful lessons, gonna try this out!

The dogs have a great life! LOL! Laying around and serenaded all day. I really liker the tune and what you are doing on the channel. One question, what is the strum machine and where can I purchase one? My guitar player lives about 200 miles from me so we don't get together as much as I like. Strum machine sounds like a good option when I practice by myself. Thanks!

Love it! It sounds awesome! I am going to have to get that waltz book now for sure. It looks and sounds like a fun tune to play! Chords sound good as they are.. sometimes a guitar player knows better than us fiddlers.😊

love it!

Oh. My. Goodness. Thank you for this amazing background history. I will change the title to reflect the composer. Given he background, "the Trenches of Manchuria" seems like an appropriate title.

Lol Deb, thank you! Yes...Monte kept speeding up and I was tripping over myself! To be fair, he only had 10 minutes to prepare the whole session, so...I love him anyway!

Luv it! I saw that frown but it sounded even better to me !😉

This tune is not traditional, it was composed by Ilya Shatrov to commemorate the battle of Mukden, which took place on the hills of Manchuria in 1905. Shatrov was the conductor of the marching band for the 214th Mokshan Infantry Regiment. Shatrov's band played marches throughout the duration of the battle. Of the 61 band members, only 7 survived the battle. Shatrov wrote the waltz in 1906 in memory of his fallen comrades. The original key was Eb minor (for brass band), but now it's usually played in D minor. The full title is "The Mokshan Regiment on the Hills of Manchuria" but it usually gets abbreviated. Shatrov continued to serve as a military band conductor, serving in the Russian Civil War and in World War II. He passed away in 1952.

It's called: Valse à Jessy.

Dentist! Gah!

❤😂🎉😮

Thank you .

It's so nice to hear music about my home area. From the maritime east coast and fiddle music plays a large part for the people.

I haven't found a recording of him doing this. Is there one around?

Thank you so much for posting this, got to play along with your video - take care

You're violin has a lovely tone. Have you had it a long tome? Do you know much about it? Thank you for this. I am learning it, It's very pretty.

Love the video, I purchased your version from the web site, but it has a lot of double stops and it is confusing for me. could you do a video playing your version of the score? Thank you!

What chords is he playing on the guitar? Id like to try to play along... is it D G n C ???

Such a pleasant person to listen to and, who shares so unselfishly.

Your playing is lovely! I've just begun relearning violin since highschool (3 years ago now), and frankly the waltz book has been pretty humbling. I suppose I forgot what intonation was as a concept, as well as how to process new sheet music.. your video really cleared up this song for me and has made my practice sessions at least a little fun between scales 😊

Sweet tune! 🎶😊🎵🎶

Im not sure i can do that….

I’ve fallen for Amelia’s waltz ever since I heard this street performer years ago play it with his broken bow hairs flying in the wind. Thanks for the lovely rendition. A

Who knew: that the melody for "Yankee Doodle" is believed to have originated from this song? Very well done!

Thanks a lot ❤❤

Just thank you. Wonderful!!❤

Best Morrisons’s jig on you tube.

Excellent teaching video, thanks! Just wondering about the left hand fingers flying straight up. Is this the best technique for students to be learning?

It is in the repertoire to be played by the Outstanding Open Band at the South Coast Folk Society's FolkOut! contradance at the Langlois Cheese Factory in Langlois, OR. on Aug 3, 2024. Hope it works out for all the players and dancers!

Beautifully played. What make of strings do you use?
