110 Succes Musette Accord. Vol.1

I also have book 2 in this series. The tunes in this book appear to be a bit easier than book 2, so maybe they are graded... not sure. I’d need to take a look at book 3. But if you are into proper French style musette these books are really great...and excellent value given the huge number of pieces. Also, the chord notation is as you would expect in book 1 (C, D, Dm etc) not the Do, Ri, Mi, Fa, Sol...of book 2, though I had to learn this and got to rather like it. But now I can do both... anyway. This and book 2 are superb. I just wish I could get hold of the other books...

I hesitated for some time because of all the unfavourable reviews. All I can say is these people must have been unlucky because my music arrived perfectly printed and bound. The music is great, however as others have said you do have to be a competent player to get the full value from the music. However, as they say practice makes perfect. This book will give many hours of pleasure to the competent and aspiring accordionist.

Wide collection of Musette tunes - different levels of expertise but something for everyone. I bought all six books but after several months I'm still only on book one as it's so good.Nicely laid out and nearly all don't need you to stop to turn the pages to find the rest of the tune. This does however make it tricky sometimes (for me at least) to work out the repeats and codas. Thats said the music is clear and the in a spring binding that makes the book easy to use and a workable sized. Top marks!

This is a large collection of musette music, grouped by type (polkas, mazurkas, waltzes and so on). There are many well known and less familiar tunes to enjoy. Just a couple of things to note: the printing is occasionally less than top quality, although always legible, and there is no left-hand notation - just chord markings.

This book is a terrible quality fake, it was not printed properly so all the pages are blurry and the lines are very faint and spotty. I have the majority of the collection of the series and i am shocked at the poor quality of this knockoff, i would have done a better job reprinting this at home. Not worth a penny unless you enjoy getting headaches.All the pages are thin low quality paper, such a mess.On the pic attached the left page is the book i purchased from amazon, the page on the right is one of my own original copies.

Being a mandolin player rather than an accordionist I found quite a few of the pieces less suited to my instrument than I hoped. However I've found a few so far which I like a lot and will persevere with the others. The book is well laid out and provides a lot of tunes at the price.

The spiral binding is really good for keeping the music flat. The size of the book is handy - smaller than A4. There is a lot of music, all a bit too hard for me so far as I have been playing for only a year. An easier version of a similar thing would be good for me.

These publications have some of the best musette pieces available for the accordion. They contain an incredible repository of authentic compositions which give a complete feel for continental accordion music. The pieces also have a range of difficulty which give the accordionist a continuous challenge in developing accordion skills.
