Will Holzhauser

Thank you.

Holshauser's jazz interest also led him to the traditional hymn, Abide With Me. The music dates back to the 19th century, but legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk recorded an all-horns arrangement. It made the accordionist ponder, what would it have sounded like if Monk played the piano on the track? You can hear some of this idea here. ¦

For many music fans, the accordion will bring to mind the music of the Celtic punk rockers, the Pogues, and Holzhauser touches on the Irish traditions on Reel to Reel, a tune written in part by his brother-in-law, who makes violins and played in a band with his father, a first-generation Irish immigrant.

Well, sure. Well, on the right side, there's a keyboard. It looks like a piano keyboard. And these keys, when you push a key, it opens a valve in the accordion, and that allows air to pass over metal reeds, which are inside the box. So when The nickname for it, one nickname for it is the squeeze box. So as you move the bellows back and forth, that generates the air.

And then when you push the keys on the right hand or the buttons on the left hand, that lets the air through and the reeds sound. So my accordion has four sets of reeds. It can play very low notes on the right hand. Or very high notes, if you hit these register switches, you can change the reed bank that's activated. And then there are two middle sets of reeds, which are slightly detuned.

And you can also play all four sets together. So, and then the left hand has buttons, which in the standard accordion system are bass notes and chords. And this was made, invented in the 19th century to play music that did that. European music, and it's all based, of course, around the European tonal system. That system is called stradella.

There's a town in Italy called stradella where it was invented. So it's a lot of fun. It's a very versatile instrument with a very wide range and wide dynamics. The dynamics come from the bellows, which it's often said the bellows in the accordion is like the bow of the violin. That's where you get dynamics, expression, and a whole host of other effects.

Bellowing. Bellowing, all right. I suppose, but yeah. Well, it's mostly dynamics, but the sound of the note does change as you change the air pressure.
