For the first time, bandoneon players have a complete, accessible chord guide designed for this unique instrument. Since the bandoneon traditionally lacks a standardized chord-fingering system, this book provides a clear, modern, and player-friendly method.
With over 200 essential chord fingerings and hundreds of variations, carefully organized for clarity and ease of use. Each diagram shows real, playable, and hand-friendly fingering positions, helping you understand the keyboard while giving you the practical tools to play and accompany melodies, build harmonies, and explore new musical ideas.
What you'll find inside:Over 400 fingering diagrams in total, designed for the bandoneon keyboard for both hands
Major, minor, dominant, 7th, diminished, half-diminished, and augmented chords
A simple step-by-step method to learn how to read melodies from sheet music
Essential harmonic progressions: major, minor, and polymodal
Progressive learning tools for beginners, covering fundamental concepts often overlooked
Time-saving tips and advice to accelerate your learning journey
Supplementary audio material included for reference and practice
