?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.?

These melodies have stood the test of time so what are you waiting for' Open the book get your accordion out and let's play some music!One word about these songs: I generallylearn a song and then play it by heart-by memory as opposed to playing it by reading from a sheet of music. I believe this allows for more personal expression and interpretation which can be affected by audience response or theway I feel at the time. You'll notice that on most of the performances on the audio download available online I didn't play repeats. Because of the limited time available on a disc we found we couldn't fit all the tunes if weplayed them as written. - Bruce Bollerud
