Has anybody else tried The Classical Tradition by Gary Dahl? I love this book. Well, mostly, I love that it exists. I don't know how Mr. Dahl (or whoever) got a modern music publisher to agree to produce a book of traditional, classical pieces arranged for stradella bass accordion in 2012, but there you go. It's a great range of difficulty. I would consider myself an advanced beginner and I found I could basically sight read a few pieces; most are a nice, reasonable challenge; and a couple are really tough but look good for the future! I couldn't find recordings of the arrangements; perhaps I should figure out how to record and post. Sadly, this book seems not to have sold so well, as it seems to be selling pretty inexpensively on remainder, so pick one up!
