I’m very grateful to have been offered the opportunity to contribute to Denis Novato’s second book, published by Musikverlag Bogner in Germany. This book contains 10 Novato compositions, in both Griffschrift notation for Steirische Harmonika (diatonic button accordion) by Hubert Klausner (zillertal-noten.at) and standard notation for accordion by myself. It is accompanied by a CD of these 10 polkas and waltzes.
The book is available for purchase on bognermusik.de or directly through Denis.
Hallo Philip,
I am a follower and fan off your website an i bought a lot off your sheets. But the book from Dennis is to difficult for me and I don’t like so much technical music. This may be good for young boys who want grow up to a world champion but not for me and thousends of “Hobby-musicans”. Only technical play will made lonlely for the player but not for the normal listener who like the Oberkrainer music and harmonys.

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for your ongoing support, and your comment. The book has a mix of technical songs, and easier melodical songs, like “Fern von freunde”, “Beim winkler”, “Papas lachen” and so on. Unfortunately these songs are not performed much, but they are lovely. Here are some videos of these songs:
