| | The most widely used accordion in America and throughout the world is the piano accordion, although the accordion of choice for conjunto musicians is the diatonic (button) accordion. | | | The musicians were playing outside and the accordion's sound level accommodated the environment and their audiences better. | | | There is no sheet music for the diatonic accordion. |

| | The Classical Free-Reed, Inc, The Classical Accordion, Part 1 |
| | Some claim that the reason the accordion is not often taken seriously as a classical instrument is that for the first one hundred or so years of its existence, it was so technically limited (generally only a single-action diatonic instrument) that it was suitable only for folk music and tavern music. | | | One noteworthy exception was the first concert piece written for the accordion, which was composed in 1836 by Miss Louise Reisner. | | | Others claim that the sound of the accordion itself is very strong and must be handled carefully in classical music to avoid disaster. |

| | One interesting development from this period was the appearance of what subsequently became known as the Schrammel accordion, first used in 1877 with a quartet comprising an accordion, two violins, and bass guitar. | | | As proven by concert programs at all important festivals of new music as well as by representative CD recordings by the above mentioned players, for many years now, the level that has been reached is compatible to that of other instruments. | | | However, the technical and musical limits of the instrument were reached. |

| | He is credited with making the first recordings of the instrument in 1908, also with making the first radio broadcast of the accordion in 1921 and the first sound motion picture featuring the accordion, for Vitaphone in 1928. | | | The chromatic accordion is definitely the choice for classical music, as a lot of more buttons than piano keys can be packed on the same space. | | | Usually these have buttons instead of piano keys, but they have the same 12-note Western scale as a piano accordion. |

| | Accordion History |
| | By ACCORDION is meant an instrument with free reeds and bellows possessing a system of pre-composed chords facilitating the accompaniment of the melody. | | | The accordion had four reeds for each note - even if some of them were broken, enough still remained to make music. | | | Thus, when a fiddler broke a string, he was faced with a serious problem to replace it - there was not a single music store for hundreds of miles around. |
