5 All three volumes were published by Pietro Deiro Publications, New York. Accordion publishing was a unique feature of midcentury “accordion culture” in America, to which Pietro gave a great deal of impetus. Deiro's own publishing house, Pietro Deiro Publications, had a catalog of nearly 10,000 works for accordion, ranging from educational materials and music in various folk styles to serious concert works by American composers, among them Henry Cowell, Paul Creston, Alan Hovhaness, and Virgil Thomson.
