Book review: The Art of Accordion Playing: Technique, Interpretation, and Performance of Playing the Accordion Artistically, Author Prof. Friedrich Lips (Russia).

A segment of the review: “Lips offers many invaluable tips on all aspects of accordion playing, most of which are equally applicable to all accordion types as well. Many of his statements and quotations from other sources are worthy of framing and hanging on the walls of accordion studios everywhere. Space prevents choosing more than three examples from scores of equally strong pedagogical gems.”
