Henry Doktorski (M.Music Duquesne University, C.A.G.O. American Guild of Organists) is a professional accordionist, pianist, organist, composer, conductor, author, educator and chess instructor. He has served on the faculty of the City Music Center at Duquesne University since 1997.
Romance for Accordion (Left-Hand Stradella Chord Buttons Only)
Printed music available from the composer: write to henrydoktorski@gmail.com.
The left-hand stradella manual of the accordion is usually relegated only to playing the bass and chord accompaniments for the right-hand melody. Occasionally the bass buttons might be featured in a solo bass passage.
Creating beautiful and inspiring music using only the left-hand chord buttons of the accordion was not a simple task. The left-hand chord buttons of the accordion have by design an extremely limited range: only a major seventh, and the top note (melody) of this range can only span a minor third. In addition, only pre-set chords, such as major, minor, dominant seventh, and diminished chords are permitted. And these chords can only be played in one inversion.
Yet Henry has written and recorded what we believe is THE WORLD’S FIRST COMPOSITION written only for the accordion left-hand chord buttons: sophisticated and inspiring music which will appeal to the most discriminating classical music connoisseurs. The musical style is reminiscent of the Late-Romantic Period, such as the music of Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877-1933) or Max Reger (1873-1916), who incidentally, composed music for harmonium.
Romance for Chord Buttons consists of five sections: Moderato, poco Allegro, Moderato mysterioso, poco Allegro, and Moderato.
Concert accordionists will enjoy programming this piece to demonstrate to their audiences the unexpected artistry of the left-hand chord manual, and students will enjoy working on this challenging piece to advance and perfect their own left-hand technique. We believe Henry’s Romance for Chord Buttons will be recognized as a classic composition for the concert accordion.
Note: This piece was written for an accordion with a chord button pitch range of Gb below middle c up to f above middle c. Some other instruments may have different pitch ranges for the chord buttons, and the performer will have to transpose accordingly to best utilize the most pleasing voice leadings.

Can I ask where you accessed the music for this? I think my group would love to perform it.
You play in an accordion quartet, Cynthia? You live in the US? Here's a link; I have printed music for sale; conductor's score plus parts. www.henrydoktorski.com/works/bachspolka.html
Dziękuję panie Henryku za wirtuozerskie wykonanie.
Nie ma za co!
pure madness.... an inedible minestrone!
Henry isn't backed by anyone around him except maybe CIA plants. I came there as a young person with my wife and he hit on her. Tried to scare her away from the movement. Like I said genuine CIA . Nor was the Swami charged with anything such as in the title of this book. But hey be hey sell out and make money at it, opportunist number one
Belo! Salve Maria 🙏🏻🌹
🙏🏻🌹👏👏👏👏
This one is so very sweet and nice, thank you Henry!
Big dump of Accordion Music today Henry! Very nice. I must admit in my ignorant curiosity, how is it that Ave Maria is by Franz Schubert, and Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod? Both are very nice!
Many thanks for your note, Mr. Hedgehog! Yes, big dump today! An entire CD. Many composers wrote settings of the "Ave Maria" text. Franz Schubert's version is quite famous. Charles Gounod also wrote a version based on the Prelude in C for clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. On this CD you will see a few other settings of "Ave Maria" by other composers.
@@HenryDoktorski Thank you for that info, I went back and did find another version.
This is around the time my Dad was working at the machine shop. I loved visiting new vrindavan as a kid. Although i almost got bit by one of kirtinanandas dogs once lol
Sir, I think his dog's bark was worse than his bite! Thanks for sharing your memories.
The psychopath Kirtananda deviated from teachings of his divine grace & maya put him in his place...hell.
Funny because he's being worshipped as a saint in Indiana as we speak!
Such an amazing review. Thank you! As someone who loves Krishna but hates organized religion and knows close to nothing about ISKCON, the end of the movie clearly didn't seem reassuring of their righteousness. They couldn't quite hide the systemic rot. It looked so obvious what they were trying to do! It unfortunately adds to the long line of organized religious child abuse. The author sounds a little bit like George Carlin, don't you think? I mean, even with the elaborate adjective sequence describing the agenda qualities of the movie!
El ego falso es eterno.... el castigo moldea a los falsos.. que se regodean.. por los incautos o corruptos!!!!.Hk
Oh wow 😮😮😮
This is a great series of books and research
Ah yes, my old childhood favorite. Brings back memories, although your rendition here is fancy far beyond my remembered versions. Thank you.🙂
Radhanath has done more good in the last 50 years than most people in the world. We don’t know Henry is right. I’d say if Radhanath was involved and we really don’t know then he has more than repented so let it go. 50 yrs on Henry is still living in the past.
I guess everyone is going to take the time to heed your advice and opinion on it ..
Radhanath hasn't done sh!t for anyone anywhere except cheat them out of their money and the best years of their lives
Beautiful music, ...bravo henry!!!
How can you glorify such a person.Naieve and gullible , to say the least .Jai Srila Prabupada!
True. Kirtanananda was a monster

Sorry, bestimmt gut gemeint, aber ich bin mir sicher, Copland würde sich im Grabe umdrehen, wenn das er hörte. Die Fanfare ist für Pauke(!) und Bläser komponiert. Und nur diese Instrumente vermögen ihr in ihrer reduzierten musikalischen Form Wirkung zu verleihen. Eine Orgel kann das nicht.
Interesting but as a prelude, not a fan.
one of my favorites! Very delicate and numerous!!
Thanks, Judith!
FUN! Love the beat and dissonances!!
Much appreciated, Judith!
Nice peppy, bright version!
Franklin, yes, peppy is better than lugubrious!
why do seemingly intelligent people who are confronted with so much info on cults, their cults and the evil of their own cults and yet they remain in the cult and defend the cult? it is a very strange phenomenon when cult members expose their own cult but choose to remain in the cult itself and defend it.
My thoughts exactly. Thanks for sharing.
Intelligent people can believe and do irrational things. John Nash was a mathematical genius, but he also was a paranoid schizophrenic.
Some of them are trapped and attached to the group in different ways by visa status, property, lack of work history, sentiments, years associated with the group, family ties and so on.
Medieval times, take me there!
Those were the days, Carol!
The harmonics of the Organ make this little jazz, theater type rendition a delightful treat!!
Glad you're pleased, Carol!
It would be nice to SEE you playing!
Yes, I agree. However at the present, I have terrific sound recording equipment, but not terrific video equipment.
Very imaginative and delightful to listen to. A crowd pleaser for sure February 26, 2024.
Thanks, Carol!
Beautiful kirtan by maharaj
I was in NV after the murders and right before a crazy person assaulted kirtananda. I left. Kirtananda gave me the creep altho I felt deeply for the philosophy and Prabhupada. It was not until much later that I learned what had been going on
how can you feel for Prabhupada when he is responsible for this evil abusive cult?
Swamis Guide TO Prabhupada..Prabhupada Is THE Swami To Focus On And To..It Is Krsna And Prabhupadas MoveMent ForEver..None Shld Get In The Way Of Praising Prabhupada Directly..
ghastly "bhaktipada"
the new vrindaban stories bring horrors inside my head
Tell us what you really think Henry!
Haha, Josh! I tell you what I think in my words and transcript! www.henrydoktorski.com/misc/PeacockFilm.html
@@HenryDoktorski I know, I wrote that at the point where you (spoiler alert!) tell us that you absolutely do not recommend this movie.
You couldn't just speak like a normal person, without that ridiculous loudspeaker effect?
Please forgive me. I am totally inexperienced with recording voice.
Really Good! Great Basso Continuo by the way! I am fascinated by the fact that there have been at least three Vaishnava harpsichordists that I know!
Also van see the face of monkey minded people's
Hear the voice of donkey fellow
Prabhupada himself was a cult leader. He brought the abysmally horrible initiation system to America. Evil comes from evil systems.
I dont know very much about the initiation system. Could you please tell me why it’s abysmally horrible
@@N1mai It artificially ceremonializes a "beginning" (initiating) of something that is supposedly already eternal. So it's self contradictory. It also established a rank thinking in the brain. Of someone "over" you in rank or authority. Literally THE problem with the entire Hare Krishna cult in all versions and varieties that exist at scale.
@MK-gm8nl I understand his instructions plenty well. His undistorted instructions had some serious flaws also.
@@perpetualpleasurist Ok, thank you for your time maam
@@BenevolentPleasureGoddess Yes. It is very much so. When a person takes the actual teachings fully seriously they see all the holes in them. It becomes insanely obvious it's a man made corrupt ideology.
