Composers and fiddlers submitted original or arranged music for Hardanger fiddle (solo or in small ensembles) for inclusion in the first AmerikaSlåttar Concert at AmeriKappleik.

AmerikaSlåttar performances were professionally recorded (click the links on the AmerikaSlåttar page) and well documented; transcriptions of tunes are being published in Sound Post in an effort to encourage others to learn and play the new pieces.
