Well ‘mastered’ might be a stretch but I can get though it reasonably well.Īll the videos I've seen of it being played on accordion (button or piano) involve a lot a bellows shake. I’ve (just about) mastered this recently. I think the piano accordion shouldn’t be an issue on the right hand, but what do I do about my bass? Most of the piece should work with just a single bass note although I am wondering about using chords as I am figuring out what the notes are at any given time and therefore what chords are underlying it. I’ve seen it played on a button accordion and I assume most are using free bass, as I believe they are just keying in the exact notes for the left hand. I’ve been figuring out the chord structure and progression (by the way the main “chorus” everyone recognizes follows the circle of fifths). However, I am not sure how to start translating it to accordion. It’s not that difficult, a lot of repetition and some bits are really fast but I think I could eventually manage to learn it on the piano at least. I downloaded the sheet music (see attached) from musicscore and have been practicing how to play it on my piano. I’ve seen some amazing renditions on YouTube. My latest endeavour is to learn Vivaldi’s Winter on a piano accordion.
