The Young Accordionist Book 1

The Little Accordionist is comprised of two books containing settings of Polish popular and folk melodies, along with little pieces by Polish composers (Book 1), as well as arrangements of well-known works by foreign composers (Book 2) for beginners and for intermediate-level pupils. The attractive , yet simple settings and arrangements permit young artists-in-training to step into the world of rich and colorful Polish folklore, as well as to encounter great works by recognized masters of composition at an early stage in their education. The collections are intended both for beginning and intermediate-level amateurs, and for pupils at primary-level schools in the artistic education system. All of the compositions have been arranged with instruments having only a bass-chord manual in mind: beyond this, the edition contains proposed fingerings for both hands (including the piano keyboard in the melodic portion), which will facilitate quick and correct mastery of the musical text. In both books, the musical material has been arranged in order of increasing difficulty, thanks to which the instrumentalist making use of them has the opportunity to gradually and consistently develop his or her abilities with each successive piece.
