The peculiarity of the style is in the tenuity of dance melodies along with the sequence of accordion passages. The French mazurka “java”, waltz, tango, polka, Paso-doble are the quintessential representatives of the Musette style. The arrangements of four popular pre-war French tunes are encoded on the paper music roll. “Folie d'accordeon” (“Dreams of the Accordion”), waltz by the French musician, composer and ensemble leader Manuel Puig. “El Galito” (“Cockerel”), Paso- doble of the Spanish musician and composer Santiago Lope Gonzalo. “Envolement” and “La Miglivacca” - two French mazurkas by “java” composer André Paté.
