him the latest, new "hits" wherever he traveled. Young people gathered eagerly when he and his family arrived to an area - there was dancing and fun! Thus he became a kind of catalyst of modern impulses. Today, the waltz is considered the oldest among
Norwegian round dances (so-called "gammeldans" including for ex. waltz, schottish/reinlender, polka, mazurka). Many of the older waltz-tunes in the traditions of the Gudbrandsdalen, TrĂžndelag, MĂžre og Romsdal, Valdres and Ăsterdalen regions have stories or names that link them to "Fant-Karl". A "halling" tune (2/4-time) and several "springleik" tunes (3/4-time) are also linked to him. Norwegian fiddlers who emigrated to the US in the 19th and early 20th centuries took with them tunes in tradition after Karl. Many of these are now called "Gammel Vals" and are associated with some fiddler who had the tune in tradition. A few, however, have been passed on with names that can link them to Karl, such as "Fant-Karl Waltz" or "Tater Waltz" ("Tater" is one of the colloquial names for Norwegian Romani/Traveller people)

contributed information that suggested a man named Carl/Karl
Johannesen/Johansen Rosenberg as a very likely candidate for the legendary fiddler "Fant-Karl". This man, a traveling horse-gelder, lived from just before 1780 until the years between 1850 and 1857. He was the grandfather of "Karl Fredriksen Moe (b. 1823)" - actually Karl Fredriksen Moe/Moen (1824 LĂŠrdalâ1884 Ărland).

In more recent years a number of performers among his descendants are to be found on recordings of traditional fiddling. Among these are fiddlers Nils
Gudbrand Forselius Fredriksen Bakke (MĂžre /Romsdal 1887-1969) and Hilmar Alexandersen (Steinkjer 1902-1993). Their playing of old Karl-waltzes may the

It is said that "Fant-Karl's" music dazzled fiddlers in rural communities he visited, and that "Fant-Karl" was teacher and mentor for
Gudbrandsdal-valley's most famous fiddler "Loms-Jakob"/"Fel-Jakup" Jakob Olsen Hjeltar (SkjĂ„k 1821â1872). Karl played the "old music" of his time, but he brought with

The identity of master
Norwegian fiddler, popularly called "Fant-Karl", also "Karl-Fant", "Ka'l-Fant" has long been shrouded in mystery. He is remembered as a spreader of waltz-tunes that became popular in the late 18th century and first half of the 19th century. It is likely that the person behind

We have not yet found reliable information as to when and where this Karl

In the 1990s, the Romani people (Tatars/Travellers) of Norway were officially recognized as one of the country's national minorities. In the wake of this new status/acceptance/respect/awareness, the music and identity of legendary "Fant-Karl" became more relevant. Among other things, a letter from

Over time, and through generations of fiddlers passing on tunes and tales, "Fant-Karl" became something of a mythical character/figure, his personal identity more unclear. Many Taters/Travellers have had the name Karl/Carl, and several have distinguished themselves as musicians and singers. In the

Many of
Rosenberg's descendants are remembered for their music performance. Like Rosenberg, they have played old tunes, but followed modern trends and provided audiences with results of their creativity and musicality, using accordion, guitar and other instruments, and of course song.

We find a connection to the famous
Swedish accordionist Carl Jularbo (1893-1966). "Calle" Jularbo's grandmother's grandfather, "horse-gelder" Johannes Pettersson (1770â1835) in NorrtĂ€kten in Hedemora, Sweden, was said to have been Rosenberg's half-brother.

The well known Norwegian song "Per Spellmann", about a fiddler who traded away his only cow to get his fiddle back, is said to refer to Romani fiddler Petter Christian Rasmussen StrĂžmsing (1759-1836) and/or his son Petter Christian Pettersen (1788-1864).
