Professor P plays the arrangement for accordion sextet by Paul De Bra, of the composition Myrna by the Italian composer Roberto Di Marino (https://di-marino.it/). The composition was created (in 2015) for bandoneon and strings and later arranged (by Di Marino) for accordion and orchestra. From both versions I created an arrangement for accordion sextet and one for accordion quintet (with permission). The arrangements are freely available from https://www.de-bra.nl/arrangements.html#myrna (but as the composer is currently still alive the composition itself remains under copyright for a long time to come).
This work reminds me of the style of Jacob de Haan and James Swearingen but in this composition the solo is originally written for bandoneon/accordion and therefore very suitable for an accordion ensemble.

Enjoy!
