For Piano Accordion

Arrangements by

SAMPLE PAGES

FOREWORDGary's professional music career, lasting over six decades, resulted in an impressive body of work including hundreds of individual arrangements and ten eBook collections.  These popular arrangements are harmonically and melodically correct, show the power and beauty of the accordion, and will challenge the beginning, intermediate, and advanced accordion players. Each of Gary's arrangements came from his heart and offers a true musical experience that should be encountered by anyone who loves and enjoys playing the accordion!

 Numerous requests from his students and members of the accordion community ­­ always 

searching for high level professionally arranged piano accordion songs ­­ inspired Gary to 

develop this library with a few simple goals:

All arrangements are creative and harmonically correct.

 All arrangements contain a sensible degree of difficulty.

 All arrangements are enjoyable for you to play and therefore enjoyable to your audience.

 Each song book is in a convenient and accessible PDF format.

Each song book is organized to provide a collection of arrangements that are similar by theme, genre or type. This makes getting your favorite solos easy. Together these eBooks represent a huge repertoire for the modern accordion player and are guaranteed to satisfy even the most demanding audience.

    

DENNIS O’TOOLE

The artistic and easily read engravings throughout this book were provided by Dennis O’Toole, a professional music engraver specializing in the accordion.

This e-Book is a copyrighted work. You may print pages for your own use and may make

backup copies of the file also for your own use. It is a violation of federal law to

distribute this e-Book or any portion of it to others in any form, either printed or

electronic.

For best results: Use a 3-ring binder. 1. Print the Foreword and Contents pages. 2. Then print the front and

back covers with photo paper using the glossy side. 3. Print all of the song pages. 4. Hole punch the right

side of the song's first page and then the left side of the song's 2nd page so that both pages can be viewed

simultaneously ...then, if needed, hole punch the right side of the 3rd page so that pages 3 and 4 can be

viewed simultaneously and repeat depending on the length of the arrangement. Glue or use double stick

tape for pages 2 and 3 to attach back to back. Make sure the holes line up accurately when attaching.

Repeat the procedure depending on the length of the arrangement. You will then have a beautiful publisher

quality book when completed. :)
