Embedded youTube VIDEO
Many of these performances are quite fast, so at first you may want to play the videos at half speed, and then return to normal speed when you are ready. (If you don't know how, check the "Introduction to youTube" under the drop-down "Info" menu at the top of this page). Also, please note that not all performances follow the above accordion notation exactly, though most are close.
