“Savradym belongs to a category of pieces the kobzari called shtuchky, dance tunes that could be performed either as a song or in an instrumental version. Here I play Savradym as a straightforward instrumental piece, without straying far from the licks I would use in a song accompaniment to this melody.” ~ Julian Kytasty, 2015
