Annika Andersson plays Pietro Frosini's " Olive Blossoms "

Uh, that's a five-row CBA. Big buttons, and conspicuous combination registers right next to the last button row, but 5 rows nevertheless. And C system. The 6-row dugmetaras used in Serbian music are B system.

Still nice to listen to, of course. Just triggering my xkcd #386 reflexes. And now I have to go to bed.

Quite right, thanks dak: you got in while I was frantically trying to correct it!
I have (no kidding) an optometry appointment for next Friday!

Note how easily this piece can be played on the 3 core outer rows. I only see her using the dupe rows (4th only, I think) for the few chordal moments, which is what I do with pieces that are largely single-note melody line. Think I better nab the dots to this one, it's great, and lovely playing . . .

Well, here's to you seeing fewer digits on the bill afterwards than you first thought.

Not coincidentally, Frosini played a 3-row instrument.

A lot of his music is excellent for achieving maximum effect with minimum technical difficulty. People wanting to become accordion composers would do well to study several of his pieces.

Is it me or is she playing it fairly slowly? I don't have the music now, but I've generally hear this song played quicker. Still, great sounding accordion and well played!
