	Accordion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The instrument was popularized in the United States by Count Guido Deiro who was the first piano accordionist to perform in Vaudeville.
		Accordion is the main instrument in the musette style of ballroom music in France (a style now largely out of fashion) and in the 1950s chanson singing, which has a revival in the form of neo-realism.
		Many modern and avant-garde composers (such as Sofia Gubaidulina, Luciano Berio, and Magnus Lindberg,) have written for the free bass accordion and the instrument is becoming more frequently integrated into new music chamber and improvisation groups.

	The Accordionist as Accompanist by Henry Doktorski
		However, the accordionist who accompanies other instrumentalists or singers is not always as fortunate as the pianist who accompanies a violinist in the Beethoven sonatas.
		Accordionists often have to work from lead sheets or fake books, which consist of only the melody and chords, and consequently they have to write or improvise their own accompaniments.
		In this article I will not attempt to teach the fine art of creating successful musical accompaniments for the accordion; but I will share with you one example of what happened when I was faced with the challenge of accompanying a singer.
