On "Graj, Skrzypku, Graj" - (2022)
A Polish tango for clarinet and violin, for the joy of it all. Different sources name different songwriters for the melody, used by so many in varying versions. I shall leave it to the musicologists to track down additional information about this oft-performed melody. The lyrics say "Play, fiddler, play / I met you / In this cafe / You were magnificently playing / Your violin."
5 pages, circa 4' 20" - an MP3 demo is here:
