My accordion-playing friend told me something deep a few days ago....While playing in his band, he doesn't press the lefthand buttons, just the keyboard. I was surprised. Then he explained that the buttons on the left are either bassnotes or chords. And, in his band, there's a guitarist playing the chords and a bassist playing bass notes, so he doesn't have to press those buttons. This has helped me understand the accordion.
