It was great to see so many string instruments featured in the different songs for Eurovision this year. I remember a few years ago, it seemed that large African/Oriental drums were the “fashion”. This year, it seemed to be violins and cellists who played standing up!
As a treat for Eurovision fans who play the violin (but mostly because I had to figure it out because it’s been stuck in my head for the last few days), I’ve transcribed the violin riff from Norway’s Fairytale song by Alexander Rybak! Have fun pretending to be Alexander!

hey, i know this might be a lot to ask, but could you do the same for the estonian entry? the song is fantastic, and it’s inspired me to start playing the violin… but i cant find the sheet music anywhere.
or, could you tell me where to get the sheet music, if you know?
Thanks!!
Can you PLEASE, PLEASE, transcribe the whole song for me?
PLEASE!!! I really need it!
Thanks
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I’m not sure about the legalities of transcribing the entire song, but I’ll see what I can do.
As for the Estonian entry, I’ll have a listen this week and see.
This is beautiful song and the violin…
I play the violin 9 years and I would like to have all sheets music of the song Fairytale. Please, could I get it?
Janka, thanks for visiting! I’ve had a listen through the whole song again, and the main violin part is the one I’ve transcribed, but just repeated. The lyrics are available online in various places like here: http://www.eurovision.tv/event/lyrics?event=1481&song=24699
Hey,
My daughter plays violin for many years she sings alos . I like to have the violin sheetmusic . If you like I can pay for it.
hi. about a week ago i asked you about writing part of the estonian song? i was wondering if you ever got around to it? i’m planning on buying a violin soon, and i need something to work towards! thanks!
there is a few mistakes in the transcribtion but otherwise its good! (there should be another D in the 4th beat in the first tact aswell as the second tact, and the first tone in the 4th tact should be an eightnote with a D, not 2 1/16 notes of C+D)
I also have a question, are you shure there should be an H throughout the 2nd tact, to me it sounds like its the same as in the first tact (an A, so its a chord with D+A, I think its meant to be a repeated tact)
Daniel – Thanks for visiting! I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a few mistakes – I didn’t spend too much time on it. Now that I have bought the song from iTunes, I’ll check it again when I have time. Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the Bb in the 2nd bar either!
Feyza – Sorry, had a busy weekend. I’ll get to it soon!
hey im 13 years old and i play a violin….i like to play this song to my friends and on conserts but i cant seem to find the song free on the internet..i realy need the violin notes to this song the whole song so i can play it 100%. But i just cant find it…could u help me get it ?
Thanks for this a lot!! But couldn’t you PLEASE transcript the whole song. I need it very much!!! And couldn’t you transcript the song for the piano??? It is very hard to play this on the piano!
All – thanks for visiting! Unfortunately I don’t have time to transcribe the whole song right now, but will probably have some spare time in ~2 weeks
Thank you so much – this is just what I wanted!

thanx!!
hey, so have you had a chance to do more of the Fairytale song? or have you looked at the Estonian entry yet?
~I’m keeping my eye on this thread!
Thanks
are people still here?
Can I just restate my request about the Estonian Eurovision entry: Randajad by Urban Symphony!
Could you please transcribe the bridge part (really the only part of the song without singing, somewhere in the middle) for the violin? I don’t think I’m gonna get over this song until I can play it!
Thanks!
@Feyza I know – my bad… I’ll email you when I get around to it, but unfortunately violin has fallen down my priority list lately. I’ll have to allocate some time to it soon.
thankyou so much for taking the time to transcribe this!
thankyou very much
if somebody have add of alexander rybak please give me because I love very much him and I am bigest fans in the world
I LOVE ALEXXX SO MUCH (K)
