When I was a kid back in the 80s taking accordion lessons, Frosini music was very popular, everybody was studying and playing his pieces.

In his time he was known as the Paganini of the accordion, and was the first accordion recording artist, recording with 'Victor' in the early 1900s.



 
It's beautiful, Frank - your playing, the sound of your accordion and the piece, which I had heard, but I didn't know the name of. Bravo!
 
That was great, Frank. Olive Blossoms was my "entry point" to the music of Frosini. I have enjoyed listening and playing his music for many years.
Here's my poor rendition of Olive Blossoms:

Nicely played. Frosini’s music is not the easiest to play. I find the chromatic runs quite daunting
