Mark Gilston plays a java made famous by Edith Piaf on chromatic mountain dulcimer.
A java is a fast waltz in the bal-musette tradition which became popular in French cities towards the beginning of the twentieth century. It is generally played on accordion or bagpipes and is danced with very close contact and very small steps. The rhythm feels like a cross between a waltz and a quick mazurka.
