N: Probably the best-known traditional Finnish polkka tune.
N: S\"akkij\"arvi is a small town between Leningrad/(Saint)Petersburg and the Finnish border.
N: Fourth and fifth parts are often played, which are usually "accordion showoff" parts.
N: This tune is sometimes attributed to Vili Vesterinen, but he learned it from others,
N: and was the accordion player who popularized it.
N: The "D" part here has a key change.  Some people play it like this; others stay in one key.
