DESCRIPTION:
Polska after Nedergårds Lars, on Swedish bagpipes.
Nedergårds Lars Olsson (1813-1895), called "Björskötten" (the bear hunter), is perhaps the most legendary of the 19th century bagpipers in Sweden. This is a polska after him. (A polska is a traditional Swedish 3-beat dance, similary to the mazurka or polonaise)
