Two of America's top educators, Anthony Galla-Rini (1904-2006) & Dr. Willard A. Palmer (1917-1996), performing an unrehearsed duet. Early in life, Palmer was a student of Galla-Rini. Notice that Galla-Rini lived to be 102 years old & Palmer passed on 3 years after this video. I caught this performance in Chicago in 1992. Sadly the noisy kitchen staff had no respect for these 2 legends.

Nick Ariondo's first introduction to Paganini's "Perpetual Motion" was during his early studies with renown classical accordionist Anthony Galla-Rini. The great 19th century violinist Niccolo Paganini composed his 'Moto Perpetuo" for violin with piano accompaniment. After 4 years with Galla-Rini, Nick moved on to study jazz with the famous jazz accordionist Tommy Gumina (of Buddy DeFranco/Tommy Gumina fame). With Gumina, Nick learned the free-bass accordion, playing Gumina's custom built instrument designed for Tommy Gumina by the Imperial Accordion Company of Chicago. As Nick progressed on the free-bass, Gumina introduced him to Paganini's "Perpetual Motion" where they worked together, utilizing the left hand/right hand technique of the free-bass to its fullest capacity.....During his studies with Gumina and throughout years of serious study, practice techniques, composing & arranging, Nick Ariondo came to develop this incomparable arrangement in parallel/contrary motion on both left and right hands, in unisons, 3rds, 5ths mixed with chordal and melodic inventiveness -- a perpetual whirlwind of technical velocity in the highest order. Nick plays Gumina's free-bass Imperial accordion on this video performance -- this free-bass left-hand system is made up of single notes only (no pre-set chords). Other videos you can see Ariondo playing the standard 'stradella' left--hand system (another ingenious set-up of single-notes and pre-set chords patterns). Whether free-bass <b>...</b>

During the vaudeville era in America, the great accordion entertainers such as Anthony Galla-Rini, Pietro & Guido Deiro & Charles Nunzio, often played operatic overtures & arias to the liking of their audiences. The accordion can imitate the singing & the orchestra quite well. Opera appears to be on the rise lately.
