Martin Tourish is an accordion specialist from Ireland whose own history is steeped in the tradition of Celtic Music. In his ground-breaking publication 'CELTIC , he explores, in arrangements for solo, standard-bass accordion, music from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. He examines 'styles within styles , offering thirty easy to intermediate grade pieces as well as a guide to performing practice in a genre where the musical notation is often considered by performers to be merely 'skeletal . He hopes that this book will also be an invitation to seek out recordings, and to visit the places and peoples evoked by this music. / Accordéon
