Concert accordionist and scholar Henry Doktorski has transcribed and edited all of Deiro’s original music for accordion–45 pieces including waltzes, rags, marches, polkas, fox trots, tangos, and popular Deiro favorites: My Florence Waltz, Egypto Fantasia, Sharpshooter’s March, and the 1911 Broadway hit, Kismet.
