Classical music on english concertina

[chookiechooks]

"Chi Mi Frena"! You play it so beautifully. I had no idea one could play such music. It sounds so enchanting on the concertina! Ay yi yi I think you just sold me a concertina!

[therocknlover]

[pixystyk]

Oh wow. So pretty.

@jandesnoo may i ask you something? from what i've read on the english concertina, never having played one, i've gathered that both the left and right hands play single notes for the melody, unlike an accordion, and that to play a scale one alternates between the hands. is this correct? and, if so, do you have to press several buttons at once to play a chord? great playing, and thank you

[jandesnoo]

@heybuddyheybuddy Yes you are quite right about the division of notes over left and right. Have a look at the video tuition also on my youtube channel and the one about plalying chords.

Super!

I have seen on expert village where the concertina was originally designed for classical music. This piece sounds really nice. When people try to play one rapidly in reels, jigs, etc. they sound awful. It seems to me that they hand position is inferior to an accordion/melodion.

@jandesnoo

All de buttons can be overwhelming, but I s'pose you don't need to press dem all at de same time.

[silverexpress1997]

An excerpt from "Lucia" is it not? Beautiful Pauline as expected, but I would have liked a little more of the tension occuring in the opera at this point.
