| Description:
Die Spieluhr (also
known as "The Music Box Bagatelle" in English) is a very delicate and endearing
piece that is an excellent addition to any performance as an encore number,
but it can also be very useful as a teaching piece (with its exploration
of scalar patterns). Joe Natoli transcribed this piece for standard bass
accordion because it falls so nicely on the instrument. The choices of
Piccolo switch in the right hand and highest register switch possible in
the left hand are meant to emphasize the music box and delicate character
of this piece. However, one should feel free to experiment with different
combinations of register switches to emphasize any coloristic possibilities
that best complement one's own style of playing.
