Some interesting music to learn to play on the chromatic a. Accordion? I've started with fiddling around with chord combinations, "He's a Pirate", "La Valise de Amelie" and playing some pentatonic improv stuff. And a little bit of reggae. I'd like some suggestions for pieces to learn that will help with technique - left hand fingering and two handed playing.
I just got myself a new (to me) chromatic (c system) 96 button chromatic accordion, and I really like the way that it's geometric layout makes sense of a lot of music theory that I kind of half know. It's a crappy chinese accordion that's been extensively rebuilt with italian reeds added, the key actions improved and a home made pick up system added. I couldn't afford it, but I knew it was a once in a decade opportunity!
So I've started learning a couple of obvious tunes, and I'm thinking about Bach's Toccata and Fuge in D minor to get some right hand dexterity going, but I'm interested in recommendations of pieces to learn or exercises to improve technique.
