You want Bellows Shake?

[Zevy]

There have been some recent discussions about the Bellows Shake. Here’s an example - VIVO by John Gart. I hope you will enjoy it.

A not offensive joke: Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky went to a bar. Barman asked, do you know John Gart? He is your type of guy.

I loved the bellows shake. Also enjoyed the dynamics.

I read this several times and didn't get it. Can you explain?

Thanks. I’m not that good.

@Giovanni @breezybellows The joke is this piece is heavily influenced from these composers maybe intentionally.

That was awesome Zevy!!!! And we all know from watching Mr. Contino that those Petosas can withstand quite a bit of bellow-shaking without issue!

Thanks. I’m not that good.

You actually are. No mistakes. Technically proficient and your love of the instrument shines through.

Surely y'all have all seen this example of bellows shake.

Nice work Zevy..I'd have to practice 8 hours a day to play what you did. Concerning bellows shaking, if one plays in a Polish Polka Band you will be doing a lot of bellows shaking...it's a driving force behind the music..

Thanks. You can chop the years, months and weeks that I worked on this any way you want. You might just get some 8 hour days….

Yeah. Lots of shaking going on there!

I have one of those accordion that have the bellows shake reed option, not quite the same but interesting. You can hear it in Henry Mancini song "a shot in the dark".

"...and don't call me Shirley!"

No, I had not come across this example of brilliant musicianship previously - thank you for posting it.

Emma Rose's marriage of Figaro was one of the first videos I watched after I started researching about accordion. After watching that I decided that I'm buying an accordion.

After I started working with teacher I asked him how long it will take me to play like that. His response was "probably never, but if you put in the work, about ten years". I have three more years to go.

By his measure, the young lady must have started as a four year old!

... the 'blurb' puts her at 14 when that was recorded.

I wonder what she is doing these days.
