Creativity, good taste, harmonically/melodically correct.
Music with a sensible degree of difficulty, such that any additional difficulty would not improve the overall sound of the arrangement.
Guaranteed audience appeal and playing enjoyment.
Utilizing the orchestral capabilities of the accordion.
Music that will excite and challenge intermediate through professional.
