DESCRIPTION:
Cyrillic: Алексей Архиповский - Шарманка

Alexei Arkhipovsky is a renowned balalaika virtuoso in both Russia and abroad. Enjoy showmanship and virtuosity combined, Russian style!

Some of the songs featured (times are highly approximate, and he alters them quite a bit, also altering back and forth between various pieces):

1:20
Für Elise/Bagatelle in A minor
(Ludwig van Beethoven, Bia 515/ WoO 59)

2:07
Caprice Nr. 24 in Am
(Niccol Paganini)

2:36
Paganiniana
(Nathan Mironovich Milstein, variations on multiple works by Niccol Paganini)

3:33
Jingle Bells
(James Lord Pierpont, 1857)

4:10

More to come, hopefully. I reckon there are some pieces in there that he wrote himself, and some that might be quite obscure folk tunes.
