Slängpolska efter Byss-Calle nr 32

Carl Ersson Bössa (1783-1847), more commonly known as “Byss-Calle,” was a tremendously celebrated nyckelharpa player from Älvkarleby in Uppsala. (Note: in some places you might see the “Kalle” with a K.)

If you’d like to play it too, here is sheet music complete with suggested chords (just right-click to save and print the image):
