Professor P has
completed a (first) CD with arrangements by Paul De Bra.
15 composers contributed to the 17 tracks on the CD so it is a varied
collection of different styles, to illustrate the many possibilities
an accordion ensemble offers.
All the tracks on this CD are of compositions that are in the public domain (in most of the world) and are available under the Creative Commons Attributions license. So they can be freely downloaded, played and redistriibuted (provided
