Request for review of Draft:Pietro Deiro Presents the Accordion Orchestra and the creation of a new article
Courtesy ping: NeoGaze
Hello NeoGaze: I was happy to learn of your interest in articles about Classical Music and your interest in the review of new draft pages. Perhaps if you have some extra time you could assist with the review of Draft:Pietro Deiro Presents the Accordion Orchestra? It has been submitted several times and I have recently completed a new update to the submission, but it has not received attention from a reviewer even though most of the objections appear to have been resolved. The article describes and documents noteworthy and historic performances of classical music compositions by one of the very few modern symphonic orchestras in the USA (during the mid 20th Century) consisting entirely of customized accordions on a major record label. It features orchestral performances by several leading jazz and classical music accordionists of that era including: Carmen Carrozza, Angelo Di Pippo, Charles Magnante, John Serry and Joe Biviano (the "father of the accordion symphony movement in the United States") which helped to establish the young accordion as a legitimate orchestral instrument in the USA,[1] and is listed on the Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR) database.[2][3] These performances ere also critically reviewed in The Billboard (magazine),"[4] High Fidelity (magazine)[5], Catholic Digest[6] and in several major newspapers in the USA[7][8][9] (as shown on Newspaperarchve.com) which described it as a "tour de force". It was also reviewed internationally in the Swedish journal Accordion Journalen.[10] I have provided additional reference citations, incorporated a more neutral tone in the text, wikified the structure of the draft and attempted to limit the use of references as much as possible without detracting from the verification of the noteworthy nature of the orchestra's members.Feel free to make any additional deletions or modifications which you might deem necessary,. It someone has time, perhaps you could start a formal move request discussion after completing a final review of the text. I've listed a few references below which are relevant. Thanks in advance for your help and Happy Editing! With best regards ~2026-10873-46 (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2026 (UTC)NHPL
