The Swedish accordionist Alf Hågedal performs Pietro Deiro's march "Pietro's Return" during a concert in Jølster, Norway, on the 4th of November in 2011.
Maestro Hagedal: Thank you for keeping "Pietro Diero and Pietro Frosini" alive and well!! Your presentation of this Piece is exceptional. Presented in a manner that Pietro Diero would be very pleased with, I particularly enjoy your bass presentation in a bold manner typical Diero!!! Thank you for your wonderful music and keep allowing us to enjoy your presentations. Robert Hinckley, Pierre, SD, USA
As the story goes, Pietro Deiro on a trip by boat to Trieste, Italy wrote his Trieste Overture, and on the return trip to the States, wrote Il Ritorno ( Pietro's Return ).
I recall to have heard or read something like that before. It's a very likely story I should say. B.t.w. the Trieste Overture is on my repertoire as well, and have been so since my adolescence :-)
@@AlfHagedal I've heard this march played many times and have played it myself in my youth. It was nice to hear and watch it being played again. It makes me want to take the instrument out and learn it over again. Trieste was also on my repertoire. Too many years passed. Thank you for your reply.
Wow! Is it the same 41 keys by 3 or 4 reed sets, or each extra line of piano keys has extra reed sets? If so, how much does it weigh? And of course, great performance! Thank you!
Fine playing! I'm also fascinated by the accordion itself...I've never seen one with keys and "buttons" together. How does it work (what's the layout)? Thanks!
Thanks Mr. Coale! Well, the configuration of buttons is "as usual", for a 3-row C-griff system that is. The white piano keys do actually function as a fourth (button)row doubling the first row. But since I have never ever needed more than three rows I don't use those piano keys at all :-) The C-griff-configuration is as follows: 1st row: C, Eb, F#, A, C etc. 2nd row: C#, E, G, Bb, C# etc. 3rd row: D, F, Ab, B, D etc. Regards from Sweden /Alf
Hello RDLX. The configuration of the buttons reflects a regular 3-row C-griff system. The white piano keys do function as a fourth row [of buttons] doubling the first row, but I never use them. The C-griff-configuration: 1st row: C, Eb, F#, A, C etc. 2nd row: C#, E, G, Bb, C# etc. 3rd row: D, F, Ab, B, D etc. [4th row/White Piano keys: C, Eb, F#, A, C etc.] Kind regards, Alf
@@AlfHagedal wow. Thank you for such a clear and concise answer. I saw a similar instrument on OfferUp but was too intimidated by the extra keys to go see it.
It's a New York-built Excelsior from the mid 40's. As Mr Korneliussen writes it is called Finto - or in this case actually Finto Chromo since the white piano keys do function as a fourth row (which I however do not use). Configuration of the rows are as follows: 1st row: C, Eb, F#, A, C etc. 2nd row: C#, E, G, Bb, C# etc. 3rd row: D, F, Ab, B, D etc. [4th row: C, Eb, F#, A, C etc.]

@@AlfHagedal This march and the Sharpshooters March were the first two pieces I worked on when I bought an accordion back in 1956, when I still lived in England. Spent two Years in Germany with the RAF 1956-59 and so enjoyed the many musical events I went to in various European countries adjacent to Germany. Wonderful days for a young man. I still have a nice Hohner 120 Bass with many presets and the same two music scores from all those years ago. You play this at a nice tempo, many play it too quickly I think. Greetings from Tasmania, Australia.
Thanks again! Interesting life story. Also good to hear that you've preserved your original sheet music from "back in the days". Greetings from the northern hemisphere /Alf
@@AlfHagedal I first heard a 13 year old playing this very well indeed when as a youngster I did a paper round after school, and their house was one I delivered to. They invited me in and so formed a musical friendship and a contact with an accordion repair man who sold me a lovely accordion with a curved keyboard that had belonged to a stage artist. Had that for over 60 years till damaged in a fire-replaced it with the current 120 base Horner with many couplers on base and treble. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comments.

Accordion muio louco
That's the most EXTREME accordion I've seen yet. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Che marca è la fisarmonica?
It's an Excelsior "Frosini Exclusive Model", manufactured in New York ca 1947.
@@AlfHagedal grazie mille; è possibile comprarla, farsela costruire oggi?
@@christianlentini3810 Temo che strumenti come questo non siano più realizzabili. E il mio non è in vendita...
What type of accordion is this
the boardsystem name is FINTO dual clavi bard

Never seen tis kind of Kbd layout... Seems to be a JANKO layout, combined with traditional zebra Kbd..?
It's called Finto Cromo.

Romopiano accordion,Kouvola Suomi¿!??
Excelsior, N.Y. 1947.
You make a lot of bellow changes, but they are all clean. Not one change was made in the middle of a note.
That is the sign of a real professional. It also helps that the accordion probably has terrific reeds as well. And of course, practice will also help.
@Anthony Scinocca Thanks! Yes, my method are to treat the bellows as a string player treats his/her bow. In some genres I use more of right-hand-wrist-phrasing instead, but the bellows awareness are most important anyway :-)

Alf, denna marsch kan inte spelas bättre! Du kan den klassiska repertoaren, Deiro, Frosini, Sundqvist etc.
Tack så mycket, herr Warg!!
Bravissimo difficile suonare non i bassi il canto e la tastiera l'accompagno. al contrario
Grazie mille!
Sounds like Funicula funicula
Yes, there are some similarities for sure :-)
