The Swedish Waltz

In a book of Irish folk tunes there was also "The Swedish Waltz", and I realized that it is more eastern than Swedish - for it is variation of a traditional Finnish waltz called "Emma".

That's why folk music is so interesting: the melodies have travelled here and there and it is possible to hear f.ex. Finnish influence in Irish jigs.
