 Video: Henry Doktorski's lecture and recital from the 2019 World Accordion Day event entitled "The Life and Music of the Brothers Deiro".His presentation consisted of original compositions by the two pioneer piano-accordionists of the early 20th-century: Guido Deiro (1886-1950) and Pietro Deiro (1888-1954). Henry also spoke about the fascinating lives of the two brothers: their youth in Italy, their immigration to the United States, their meteoric rise to fame as Vaudeville celebrity stars, their wives (including Guido’s turbulent marriage to Mae West), the end of Vaudeville, the discord between the brothers Deiro, their reconciliation, Guido’s descent into poverty and obscurity and Pietro’s rise to wealth and fame as a music publisher. Henry Doktorski performed: • Guido Deiro: My Florence Waltz • Pietro Deiro: Quicksilver Novelty • Guido Deiro: Lido Tango • S. Falco (later attributed to Pietro Deiro): Beautiful Days (Giorni Belli) Waltz • Guido Deiro: Sharpshooter’s March This is a free link, but please consider making a donation to A World of Accordions Museum to help support the continuation of these types of presentations and performances.
