Pieter's Music Booklet from WWII Era

Music Teacher Wim  Gesthuizen, painstakingly hand–copied each lesson for Pieter to practice...

Music booklet

Titles listed and to the right you see the name: Th. van Megen, a skipper on the River Rhine. He smuggled the Soberano accordion into the country for Pieter... 

The price for that instrument was six pounds of coffee that Pieter's Mom had stashed away!

Don't forget, this was during WWII there was absolutely no coffee available, it became valuable like gold for Germans.

An den schönen blauen Donau – Johann Strauss

On the beautiful Danube – Johann Strauss

Pieter seen above practicing from this music booklet during WWII on his Hohner, gifted from his Uncle, before he got his new Soberano...

This Hohner that Pieter is holding in his hands, was a diatonic accordion, namely a Viennese model 2–rower with 21 buttons and 8 bass. These models were used from the 1910s to the 1930s.

Later when Pieter joined the military, he also played an Es-trumpet and Trombone with their small military band they marched in front with the International Four Days Marches in Nijmegen.

This is what Pieter knew and studied and also what he played for his serenade: 1948 Gevaphone Record with Young Pieter Playing his Accordion for Brother in Uniform | you can listen to it via link from previous post...
