Carnival of Venice – Accordion Solo (Sheet Music & Video)

Prior to the MCAT, I hadn’t had much free time to enjoy music, art, or really do anything other than study. So, since I am finally free of that hell of an exam, I decided to spend my weekend practicing my accordion. Below is the sheet music I used, along with a video of me performing it in my garden. Hopefully you enjoy!
