About the song

Song demonstration

This waltz titled “Srečno otroštvo” means “Happy childhood” and was written by Robert Smolnikar, a highly regarded Slovenian accordionist who performed in one of Slovenia’s highest calibre Slovenian folk-pop music and Oberkrainer style ensembles called Štajerskih 7 (which means Styrian 7, relating to the region of Slovenian Styria, not to be mistaken with the bordering Austrian region of Styria). Robert Smolnikar has composed many terrific songs including a beautiful waltz “Zapri oči” with a musette influenced accordion solo in the second part, which is so lovely to listen to, but very difficult to play. Smolnikar currently plays in his own trio, Robert Smolnikar Trio, yet his songs from his Štajerskih 7 era continue to be covered throughout Slovenia both by his own trio and many other folk ensembles.

This instrumental released in 1991 isn’t commonly played but I hope you appreciate its lovely melody, and enjoy learning it on accordion as much as I did.
