I Disertori (waltz) / Furlana

    These are two Italian folk tunes from the collection of transcriptions that has been circulating online for many years, same source as Simon's tunes here.

    "I Disertori" is a waltz which comes from the repertoire of the Italian band "Enerbia" (link), and has also been recorded on a duo album by Enerbia's fisarmonica player Franco Guglielmetti with piffero player Stefano Valla (link). I do not know if they wrote the tune or whether it is traditional. A transcription is here:

    I am playing the waltz as a set with an untitled furlana taken from the same collection. This one was transcribed from the CD "Balli tradizionali in Umbria" where it was played by Ferdinando Valcelli.

    Fine playing on solo mandolin, Martin. I like the second dance a little more.

    Sounds great even without chords!

    Thanks, Frithjof and Christian. No chords as the transcriptions don't have any and I couldn't find any elsewhere. I should probably try to learn how to come up with my own chord progression in such cases. However, both of these are fun to play solo. The furlana, being essential a jig, doesn't really need chords anyway, but the waltz would probably benefit from a 3/4 accompaniment.
