Julian Schlitzer enriches the ukulele repertoire with virtuoso "folia variations" that 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 published in the series "Elisabeth Pfeiffer presents Ukulele" by Heinrichshofen Verlag, which establishes the ukulele as a versatile solo instrument. The "Folia Variations" are both challenging concert pieces and didactic etüde ideal for advanced players who want to expand their technical repertoire.
