Here's a fun little song...

[Siegmund]

"Teufel du Dürrer". Feels like a nice relaxed little dance... until you try to dance along to it, and trip and fall on your face: it's in seven! ONE-two-three-ONE-two-ONE-two, ONE-two-three.

Sounds like it would well worth learning as a relatively easy exercise. Has anybody ever seen sheet music to it, or heard anyone other than Florian Michlbauer play it? It may well be an original composition of his, but I don't know.

Siegmund said, "It may well be an original composition of his, but I don't know."
In the YouTube notes it says, "Composer: traditional."
Thanks for sharing!

Interesting! I knew there are a lot of compound time signatures in Balkan music, etc., but I've never heard them used in what otherwise sounds like traditional Alpine-region music.

I wonder if that's a traditional dance or style, and if there are other pieces like it... or if that's just a quirky arrangement of a folk piece that's normally in 3/4 or something?

 

[David A]

And to trip you up even more only six beats in the final bar! Title seems to translate to "You skinny devil"

accordionmaniac will probably know this one

I am guessing quirky arrangement.
For 'other pieces like it', the same album has a Ländler in 4 instead of 3.

For "tripping " along?
