L’Inconnu de Limoise as a Five Time Waltz

A reworking of Maxou Heintzen’s mazurka L’Inconnu de Limoise – the time signature is now 5/4. Yes, I know I did that to Speed the Plough last month, but this time it really works. Honest!

Played on a Streb midi melodeon in D/G (albeit a lower reed setting than I would normally use because I’m in the upper octave quite a lot in this version).

L’Inconnu de Limoise

A French mazurka written by Maxou Heintzen – Melodeon.net’s Tune of the Month November 2009. Come to www.melodeon.net and see lots more different versions!

I’ve played this on a standard Hohner Pokerwork in D/G (so the tune ends up in the key of G). Hope you enjoy it!

Speed the Plough Take 2

Played on a Streb in D/G and then Dmin/Gmin as part of Melodeon.net’s tune of the month October 2009. I’ve changed the time signature a bit – we’re now in 5/4 time. Not quite as smooth as Stephane Delicq yet, but I’m getting there!

The Dmin/Gmin section is literally that – the keyboard is programmed using a variant of John Spiers’ rather cunning minor tuning layout (you’ll find a keyboard layout somewhere on http://info.melodeon.net I expect).

You might notice a slight jump in the camera as I jump from major to minor. Camera trickery at work as I change the keyboard layout on the Streb!
