Arrangements came from many accordion players who are fans of my music. I have always written music for myself mostly jazz arrangements for different groups that I played with through the years but until I took on a few students in recent years I realized there was not much interesting music for them to play. They heard some of my recordings the solo one?s especially and asked me to write arrangements that were not too diffcult but had some of the more modern Harmonies that I use in my playing and a little more sophisticated musically. They especially wanted some of the great standards or ?Evergreens?. I started writing and found that I enjoyed it and received much good feedbackfrom everyone. I hope you enjoy this Book. Frank Marocco

?This book by Bettina Buchmann is a real boon; it gives not only a representative overview of the latest instrumental techniques and forms of expression on the accordion today, but paves the way for composers and accordionists to compose and perform idiomatically on the instrument. The author and publisher deserve the highest recognition for this.? (Teodoro Anzellotti)

?The accordion has enjoyed a revival in popularity in recent times ? numerous composers have discovered it as a solo instrument, in chamber music and also for its orchestral sound. I?m really happy to have this exceptionally clearly laid out book by Bettina Buchmann by my side as a guide and incentive for my further explorations into the instrument.?
