- based on a theme from the 16th century. Julian Schlitzer enriches the ukulele repertoire with virtuoso ‘Folia Variations’, which combine baroque tradition and modern playing techniques. The folia, originally a wild dance from Portugal, has become an integral part of music history over the centuries. Schlitzer makes full use of the tonal possibilities of re-entrant tuning - from strumming and tremolo to tapping. This edition is part of the ‘Elisabeth Pfeiffer presents Ukulele’ series published by Heinrichshofen Verlag, which establishes the ukulele as a versatile solo instrument. The ‘Folia Variations’ are both a demanding concert piece and a didactic etude - ideal for advanced players who want to expand their technical repertoire. The edition is also available as a pdf file.
