Its good to see more of Anahata's work on youtube again - the playing, the audio and the video are all so clear and crisp.

Here's my late attempt to record a mazurka from another time and place. The mazurka was a popular dance around the Australian countryside in c19th and this tune is one Sally Sloane picked up from her mother. Luckily it was recorded in the 1950's and my version is how I hear Sally playing it, which differs a bit from the published transcription.
Sorry about the video's poor quality, but hopefully its better than nothing.
