Dyads & chords played with a right hand

[Sarah]

Where can I find on the web free sheet music for accordion music
with dyads and chords played with a right hand?

Slovenian-style polkas / Cleveland polkas is a good example of this style.

Hi Sarah, The problem is ... you're the expert at coming up with these links when others ask, so I wish you luck...

 

[Sarah]

It looks like there isn't any free stuff in that style

 

[JIM D.]

You may try -- http://spuscizna.org/music/ -- as some of these tunes are quite similar. And a few Slovenian style.

 

[Sarah]

Thx, but Im looking for something in this style

Polka's are in 4/4 or cut time - Oberek's are in 3/4 time. :tup: :b :tup:

 

[Sarah]

You are right!

I'm generally thinking about style with many dyads & chords on the right side, not only about polkas

You might want to check out some of the YouTube videos of Lou Trebar. He played a half-chromatic Slovenian accordion. Joey Miskulin, who was also an accordionist with Frankie Yankovic for many years, played with Lou on many of his pieces.

These instruments have a different sound -- helicon basses, etc. The right hand is B system chromatic, the left hand is Slovenian diatonic.

a half-chromatic Slovenian accordion. The right hand is B system chromatic, the left hand is Slovenian diatonic.

Wow, there are soooo many types of accordions!

If you ever get to the US, you should visit Harrington Arts Center in Superior, Wisconsin. This is the home of A World of Accordions Museum. There are 1400+ accordions on display -- everything from a Damien up to the most recent instruments, including a Roland V-accordion!

I thought I knew a lot about accordions, but when I visited the museum in February of last year, my eyes were opened wide!!!!

 

[Glenn]

Does the museum have a web presence? Would be brilliant if the curator could put up lots of pics and sound samples and explanations.
Just wishing out loud :shock:

 

[JIM D.]

Theres one in Europe -- http://www.accordions.com/museum/

The World of Accordions Museum in the USA is a great museum, with many accordion types in the collection. A treasure.

If you like Slovenian-style polka music, you might want to have a look at this website of Joze Burnik, a piano accordion player:
http://www.burnik-joze.com/Joze_Burnik/Komponist_in_aranzer.html

His piece Dobro Jutro (Good Morning) is played by Denis Novato on Steirisch Harmonika:

Denis Novato - Dobro jutro (Jože Burnik)

I adore his showpiece like interpretation of Jacques Offenbachs Can-can:


Hes a real showman on the Harmonika.

This website has the sheet music (melody line + chords ) of many German folk songs and drinking songs
http://www.lieder-archiv.de/lieder_sammlung_a.html

Easy to play and the chords are included. Nice tunes for accordion players and students.
