International Accordion Favorites Waltzes, Polkas, Tangos, Hornpipes, Two-Steps and More!
Welcome to the world of international accordion music. This collection contains a sampling of ethnic folk music from Europe and the Americas and forms the foundation of a basic folk accordion repertoire. These songs are from many nations. They are crowd pleasers and they are fun to play. I have played most of these songs in the various bands I have played with over the years. 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 generally learn 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 the way I feel at the time. You ll notice that on most of the performances on the CD I didn t play repeats. Because of the limited time available on a disc we found we couldn t fit all the tunes if we played them as written.
