Amazing. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the link. I just heard his "Numero 13" on CBC and went searching for it. Your link came just in time. "Swing Suspens" is also wonderful.

but there are 4 pdf files still available here:

Thanks, Andy, for the new link. I had tried to find Numero 13 and Swing Suspens again about six months ago and couldn't find them -- I'd really love to learn those two songs in particular. The tango looks interesting also.

Have you conquered the new instrument yet?

Hi Loretta :-)
Forum member Weechimpy lent me two Marcel Loeffler's "Source Manouche" and "Hommage", which I'm loving.
Luckily, I can read treble clef pretty well ,and remember a little bass clef, from my schoolboy piano days, so I'm getting there, working through an old fingerings for piano scales book and some Murena & Viseur waltzes, trying to get the bass & chords smooth, and fighting the temptation to buy a CBA. [..if I buy more stuff, I'll be a better player, right ? ].

I hope I can get close to the CBA-playing Loeffleur sound on piano accordion, interesting that he doesn't use the bass-side when with the band, I think......

Is he any relation to Yorgui?

"Yorgui Loeffler is a distant cousin of Bireli Lagrene and is also a
distant relative of accordionist Marcel Loeffler"

from http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorgui_Loeffler
