About the piece:
"Concerto for Accordion and Percussion Sextet" Opus 49, was completed on June 16, 2016 and is happily dedicated to William Schimmel. This is my third concerto for percussion sextet and soloist. The first, from 2011, is with vibraphone solo composed for John Ferrari, the second from 2016, is with frame drums solo composed for Glen Velez and this; my third is with accordion and was composed for William Schimmel. All three pieces were composed with the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble in mind, which silently shares the dedication. - Peter Jarvis
