This collection includes pieces for accordion, wrote by Viktor Vlasov, a well-known Ukrainian composer. Accordion presented here in a variety of instrumental compositions and is treated along with other music instruments as an academic and chamber instrument.

The concert triptych, based on the theme from a Hieronymus Bosch painting The Last Judgment, firstly was performed by a music group QuART.ru from the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, consisting of accordion, clarinet, piano and cello. The authors of the project's idea were a remarkable accordionist Vladimir Orlov and a talented arranger Roman Smolyar.

In a music composition Infinito for accordion and chamber orchestra there was taken an attempt to reveal by music methods the core of such perennial categories as space and time.

Odessa album leaf is a colorful lyrical piece, tinted with Odessa's specific mild humor and intonation. Both works were firstly performed by Vladimir Murza, an Honored Artist of Ukraine, with a chamber orchestra of the Odessa Regional Philharmonic, conducted by Igor Shavruk.

It is believed that the works, published in this collection, are to be profitable for concert and chamber repertoire of accordion players.
