International Accordion ( Piano ) Favorites Book and CD

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!

Over 30 tunes are from Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Norway, Mexico, Russia, Poland, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Argentina, and the good old USA. No accordion player will want to miss this collection of ethnic tunes sure to please any audience. Must know tunes include: “Wir Gehen nach Lindenau,” “Have Pity Waltz,” “Francuzka Polka, ” Cielito Linda,” “Life in the Finnish Woods,” “Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland,” and many more.

Author Bruce Bollerud was born and raised on a farm in southwestern Wisconsin. Bruce was introduced to music at an early age when he attended house parties in the neighborhood with his family. He began to play the bandonion (a concertina-like instrument ) at age 10. Soon he was playing house parties and backing up local musicians. He began to play piano accordion when he was 15. He has played with midwestern old time dance bands that featured the full range of music mentioned above.

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. Written by Bruce Bollerud, June 2007.
