Andrey Plays Accordion (Bayan)

Hidden Truth

Original transcription and three bayan arrangement studies.

A: Faithful

Listen to the A/B/C registration audition. This synthesized comparison approximates the reed combinations described below.

Arrangement details and playback limits
  • Right-hand pitches, durations, and ties stay unchanged from the cleaned-rests source.
  • The D–A–D left-hand chord in measures 3–4 becomes D, omitting the fifth.
  • Left-hand pitches use representative octave 2. Arpeggios keep their pitch-class order, not their original multi-octave contour.
  • Use a clean middle right-hand reed and light bass registration.

These are arrangement studies, not performer-verified final editions.

  • All bayan variants retain 61 measures, 4/4, the source key signature, and quarter-note tempo changes of 105, 102, and 103.
  • No free-bass converter is assumed. Root-button and preset-chord voicings depend on the instrument.
  • The score reader plays written pitches with a general accordion sound; it does not interpret reed-registration instructions. Use the A/B/C audition for approximate coupled-reed playback.
  • The audition uses fixed hand balance and does not reproduce every dynamic, bellows direction, or final diminuendo. MIDI timbre depends on the player.
  • Detailed fingering, bellows shaping, and playability still need a real play-through.
Score files and credits

Keep the right hand; reduce left-hand octave duplicates to one root-button note per attack.

View / instruments

Stradella is an optional accordion aid, not part of piano notation.

Developer annotation tools

Opt-in annotations use browser storage and a local development service. They do not edit the public score.

Practice settings

Timestamps show minutes:seconds at the original tempo, even during slower practice. A video's performance timing may differ from the score.

Repeat a passage

The end measure is included. Seeking outside the passage turns the loop off.
