World Music: Richard Galliano, "La Valse a Margaux"
(France) Picture the Eiffel Tower and the sound track is? Accordion, of course. This signature sound comes from the music called Musette which grew out of the displacement of rural populations at the turn of the 19th century, to Paris. Here, in the immigrant’s dancehalls the accordion became the instrument of choice. "La Valse a Margaux" is an original composition by Galliano, but it heavily references Musette: it is a waltz, a favorite time signature of the genre, and it is a showcase for technical ability. Galliano is joined here by Sebastian Seurel, and they have an interaction that is a joy to watch, as they swoop like songbirds through the intricacies of the piece.
