Benny Thomasson said that the old two-part tunes of his father's day had no variation, whereas he arranged variations of the same parts in higher positions on the fiddle, and that contest competition pushed him to keep improving the tunes.
"Now I play the same old tunes, but then I have arranged variations of the same parts in different positions on the fiddle, see."
