Styles Of Music For Concertina?

[Stephen Mills]

It was nice to come across this.  Although I haven't been very active on concertina lately, the last things I avidly attacked a few years ago were saltarelli and estampies, by means of which I became acquainted with several of Zoltan's videos.  I played this one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgZp9DoW3CY that allowed for lots of harmonic choices in a medieval style, to my mind. (I play a Hayden duet.)

and finally found the other Zoltan saltarello I played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8aQm3SoyI4

Yup- I play both of those Saltarellos (learned from Arany’s videos).

if you’re interested, I made some decent home recordings of me playing hopped up

versions of the La Regina Saltarello and a great piece called Chanconetta Tedescha (on, as per my style- solo unaccompanied electric guitar), among other early music pieces.

We have a quartet - two anglos and a duet plus bassoon. We are called Handel with Care. Guess what music we play! 

We also play the usual folkie stuff.

I would love to hear a recording of anything with that instrumental combination.
