Accordion Things

This is a blog about everything accordion. For, right now, I mainly blog stuff relevant to the performing end of accordions, like videos of performers, recordings, music problems relevant to the accordion, sheet music, etc. Feel free to submit anything your heart desires accordion related! It does not have to fit into any category listed above. Also check out about the about the admin page if you wish to know who runs this!

I don't know if I've posted this site before, but there's a really nice amount of good sheet music... it all comes from the dude in the last video I posted

So I like this waltz a lot now....

[accordionthings]

So yeah....

So I've neglected this blog for the past really long time... We'll have to see if I keep this up... but anyway in the mean time I've practiced accordion a lot, and have gone on a musette and jazz kick with accordion.... so you'll be seeing a lot of that in my next couple of posts....

A full piece from that album is featured here, whether or not you pop or not, you should still listen because the arrangements are just awesome

Like I never had doubts about the accordions ability to play popular songs, but wow. Just check these out

[accordionthings]

This was the first classical-ish accordion piece I ever learned to play

I think glass harps and armonicas sound cool, now add accordion and this is the result

[accordionthings]

I just want you to notice how young some of these accordionists are... and the pieces that they are playing

Also because John Williams wrote the Olympic Fanfare and Theme, which is not the same Olympics related song that I posted, and since John Williams wrote Starwars, we get Cantina Band, this is how my logic works

[accordionthings]

Surprisingly this is the best thing I could find for this... so in commemoration of the Olympics.... here's the fanfare from Bugler's Dream

Why not?

Just a random question but does anybody know if there's a recording of a solo version of the accordion arrangement of Grieg's piano concerto in a minor?

I'm a really terrible blog owner, (because work kills me) but enough with the excuses, here's a song, I don't have any cool story other than I like this piece, and I found it done by an accordion orchestra during my attempts to find accordion music on iTunes

This includes an accordion in the recording... this is the USAF Strings, but anyway I think this would be a really cool song on the accordion, but I had trouble finding a version that I liked for solo accordion
