    You made a nice video for sure.
    Thanks.

    I feel so moved after hearing the final piece! The accordion is so evocative to me of the past, kinda like seeing black and white film. But hearing the tone of the instrument combined with a composition that has, what I would consider a somewhat pop-y feel, the past and the present were combined into one. Bravo!

  • @SunnyBeetle1922

    Wow such a beautiful demonstration from an incredibly talented accordionist😍🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful presentation. My dad learned to play the accordion aged 7 and played it throughout his life both privately to entertain friends and in concert with the Jacklyn Frets Orchestra based in Crewe Cheshire. Sadly he passed away last year aged 82 and every time I hear the accordion being played, I feel him in my heart. He would have loved this and I’m so delighted that there are so many other talented accordionists out there both young and old who are continuing to share the beauty and magic of this wonderful instrument. Thank You 🙏🏽 🪗💯⭐️✨🌈💫

  • @CesarACastillo
    @CesarACastillo 5 месяцев назад

    What I'd like to know is how players remember the finger movements. For most instruments, you can actually see where your hands are at all times. With the keys on either side of the accordion and a large box seemingly blocking your view of your fingers, how do you remember which key makes which sound?
    Edit: Yeah even you do it. I've noticed a lot of players don't even glance at the keys as their head is too busy moving to the rhythm of the music they're producing. So that makes it even more impressive that accordion players can remember where the keys are since they're often lost to the sound of their own music.
