?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)
