SUCCES MUSETTE (110) VOL.4 --- ACCORDEON Sheet music – 25 Mar. 2011

All volumes in this series are good value if you are keen on playing French Musette accordion. If you are dedicated to french accordion then these are a must.My copies of volumes 1,2 & 3 have french chord notation: Do, Re, Mi etc instead of C, D E. I know some people go through and pencil in the chord names of pieces they are learning. I haven't done that, and found it didn't take long to adjust to the different notation. Volume 4 has A, B, C notation for chords. If you're looking for detailed bass and chording you won't find it in these books, you're expected to work it out for yourself.Most of these pieces are at least intermediate level, if not advanced. However, none of them are impossible to learn with enough practice and time invested. Although most musette is played by accordionists with a C system CBA (chromatic button accordion), Piano accordion players of course can manage these pieces fine. Many can be played on a smaller sized accordion, and a mid sized 72 bass accordion will be fine for most, but a few pieces require a full keyboard to play.The print quality is fair, but not great. Many pages have the appearance of reproduced ink-jet printing, but they're still quite legible.They are all fairly sturdy wire spiral bound so they open easily and lay flat. Which brings me to Amazon packaging. Sending wire bound books in a thin padded envelope is just bad. All of my books arrived with crushed spirals. One of my books had half the pages fallen out because of it, two of them have had crushed and dog-eared pages because of the shoddy and cheap way of sending books. All of my books look very second hand, straight out of the packaging. Not good enough. I would understand bad packing from an inexperienced book shop, or a work experience shop hand, but not from a multi-million dollar company with years of experience.So, zero marks out of 5 for careless packaging, Amazon. The books themselves are recommended.

Avec les anneaux c très pratique ... sympa

Ottima raccolta di spartiti musicali francesiMolto consigliato agli amanti dei musetteSpartiti da allegare assolutamente al proprio repertorio personale

An excellent collection of musette tunes. This is the first music accordion book solely dedicated to French songs that I have purchased. As a not very good accordionist(!) I have tended to play those tunes with the least black on the page!I think there would be a good market for this and similar books if they were available in the UK.Delivery was good considering that they were shipped from Kentucky. Their progress was followed by the tracking offered.I have since bought Book 3 which I had to purchase from Paris.

brillantissime excellent, de nombreux succès connus, le choix des morceaux est très elastique de la rumba à la valse sans compter les morceaux de virtuosité, à mettre dans des mains déjà chevronnées.
