This album contains seven original compositions of various styles that perfectly suit the accordion, such as a a polka, waltz and tango as well as some rather rare ones like foxtrot, jazz waltz, swing and bossa nova. On the one hand, the dances are of an educational character, aiming to provide guidance for left-hand accompaniment to various musical styles, linking of chords, harmonizing the melody to be played by the right hand and achieving a 'rich' sound. On the other hand, when played at a high standard they are also concert pieces appropriate for the stage. The pieces are recommended to advanced music school students and secondary school students. They are also perfectly appropriate for accordion players who are generally interested in quality popular music for their instrument. / Accordéon
