#introduction
I produce collections, recordings and videos of #freeMusic on
https://www.monviolon.org

A flagship project is the #BoeufTrad: repertoire of popular dance music.

I only use free software - (including #Lilypond #Gimp #Inkscape #Scribus #Ardour #Audacity #Kdenlive…) and sleepless nights.

Piano Dom's first contribution to the #boeufTrad with one of his compositions: the #mazurka vRiL, licensed under #freeArt License. He transcribed it in 3 voices on #MuseScore.

@admin Yuhuu! Stereodon funziona di nuovo! Grazie ai responsabili!

There is an almost systematic problem on "cheap" factory violins (here one of the violins of the music school where I teach): black painted white wooden pegs in which the holes for the strings are badly placed and unusable. If you buy this type of bad instrument (why not after all, it works) you will certainly have to re-drill the pegs. Axis perpendicular to the original hole so as not to weaken the peg too much.

Ieri ho riparato qualcosa sul MonViolon: la ricerca di una melodia scrivendo il nome delle note in italiano (francese, spagnolo, ecc.: do, re, mi) funziona di nuovo. Divertiti con quello!

Collaborative music recording 💽 It exists (internet is awesome) we can use the SourceML software for this kind of project.
SourceML is based on the framework Symfony (php+mysql).
An interesting example of use here 🤩 http://j.ai.vu.un.son.revolutionsoundrecords.org/
SourceML's homepage (in french): http://sourceml.com/
I think I will use it!
Thanks to @openmastering and @Nomys_Tempar to have made me discover it.

Today's thought: it will take some time because I'm busy with other activities but I'll release this recording (when finished: violin/accordion duet) and the following ones under #freeArt or #ccbysa license (as you wish) *with uncompressed sources*: separate tracks, without corrections. This will facilitate reuse (adding instruments, #remix...)
Does this kind of project already exist? Free audio album with source files?
That seems to be the best choice for me anyway.

Oops, I didn't mean to post only the girl with the flowery accordion but the channel address:

If you don't know which instrument is a kannel or a Karmoška (en, it: garmon), if you want to listen/see traditional Estonian tunes played by Estonian students, there are plenty of them on this page (on you...be alas):

Really nice!

I think I like "La valse de Juliard". On the diatonic #accordion G-C, in C (must have a G#) you can do a lot of kitschy-cute stuff including "C D E F" with the bass.
I play A part twice but I'm not sure I'll keep this option.
I decided on 198 bpm, a compromise between the musical groove (a bit slower) and the valse musette for dancing (a bit faster).

First little audio file's here : https://www.monviolon.org/telechargements/valse_juliard_diato.mp3

I am referencing on MonViolon.org the tunes transcribed in "Les violons de l'Artense" by Jean-Marc Delaunay (1999).
The site has just done 🌟 TILT 🌟 :
"Valse de Juliard" (3 steps, Center-France) matches almost perfectly with "Far Far Across the Sea" which seems to be a reel (4 steps, Ireland or North America).
From my experience, it is very rare that two different tunes start with more than 5 identical notes. Here, it's... 14! A nice find 🤩

A minuet by Telemann for harpsichord played by two violins (as if there weren't enough pieces for violins… yes, I know). 😋

Piece often playable from the second year of violin study.

All Ardour users probably know it already but I discover Dragonfly reverbs (Hall, room, plate, early reflections) by Michael Willis. It sounds really good AND the interface is well done, is very pleasant to use.

... and I love dragonflies.

Hop! Here's a nice #traditional music from Center-France for our #BoeufTrad :
"Le petit pied" (I traducet "Little Foot" because... why not?) that the fiddler Henri Tournadre sang, not being able to play the violin anymore. I found it in the book "Les violons de l'Artense" by Jean-Marc Delaunay (AMTA, 1999).

Dal 18 marzo al 28 maggio 1871: la Comune di Parigi.
Cantato da Georges Brassens. Testo : Louis Marchand (1910) - Musica : Aristide Bruant (1910).

Tonight I found sound and video recordings of pieces that I left unfinished for over a year. I was there. One day, I'll get back to it 🙄

In my collection named "Discover the violin", I will now put a small diagram with the fingers used.
So, "Merrily We Roll Along" is easy for beginners but rewarding because the melody is well known (used in Warner's "Merrie Melodies" cartoons). Public domain because it's part of the 19th century song "Goodnight, Ladies":

I think I've pretty much finished Marc Perrone's discography on the website.
https://www.monviolon.org/en/rechercher?q=Marc+Perrone
All I have to do now is to reference the pieces...

I just made this video to help (hopefully) learn "The Foggy Dew" on the violin. You can try it even if you are new to this instrument. It's simple and pleasant to play.

Good surprise this morning: my #freemusic has been used to illustrate a video:
