I'm afraid you'll have to blame Accordionist Norbert Pasquet for that. 😄 . The French do play quite a few Mazurka Valses, but with most, the timing for the Waltz is much more pronounced than in this tune. Cheers, Dick

Juris, I'm playing a Baritone Treble & the Treble pitch plays the whole tune, while the Tenor pitch only plays the 2nd time through the tune ... the same melody but of course different finger patterns. A Trump is what we call a Jews Harp in Scotland. Cheers, Dick

Treble can be heard throughout & Tenor all through the 2nd time through, of the tune. For me, the pleasure is hearing how the Concertina actually blends with other instruments. . However, just for you, I've taken the other instruments out in this cut. ... Hope you can hear the Concertina now? 😄
