It is evident that, when collaborating, the accordionist will give to the composer certain quantity of musical works and recordings that exemplify what we have summarised here. That is why we give some references of CDs and scores for accordion at the end of the article that can be useful for such an aim. ‘SHOULDER STRAPS CHIN REGISTERS FOR THE RIGHT MANUAL, BELLOWS LEFT HAND STRAP. bass MI ass i i fo MIL LEFT MANUAL ant MULMIL MANUAL MI rreble Ml ‘CONVERTOR ~ ‘SWITCH RIGHT MANUAL treble REGISTERS MI LEFT MANUAL ‘ 3 REGISTERS Ricardo Llanos & Mati Alera I
