Nyckelharpa is a traditional Swedish folk music genre that dates back to the 16th century. It is played on a keyed fiddle, or nyckelharpa, which has a unique sound that is both haunting and beautiful. The instrument has a range of three octaves and is played with a bow. The music is typically played in a fast tempo and is often accompanied by a drum or other percussion instrument. The melodies are often based on traditional Swedish folk tunes, but can also be composed by the musician. Nyckelharpa music is often used in traditional Swedish folk dances, and is a popular genre for both listening and dancing.
