Product Description

So many people have played Rimsky-Korsakov's famous Flight Of the Bumble Bee since it was composed in 1899, that I have never been able to bring myself to play it. Similar to the polka, Flight of the Bumble Bee seems to have a similar predictable stigma attached to accordionists. So I decided to write my own version of this kind of piece as if it were updated to a more contemporary style but still maintaining the very technical wizardry of the original piece...almost as if the offspring of the Bumblebee had written the piece, which is why the subtitle is facetiously listed as "Son of a Bee!" I had a lot of fun writing this piece and hopefully anyone who purchases it will have just as much fun performing it. The version you hear in this MP3 is being performed on a digital accordion, but that is only to enhance the bass and chords a little. This piece is entirely acceptable on an acoustic accordion and will sound just as great. Enjoy!
