Pietro Deiro was the first president of the American Accordionists' Association.
The organization holds an annual accordion festival. In 1957, the AAA contracted American composer Paul Creston to write a piece for the instrument; Prelude and Dance for accordion (Op. 69) was published the following year. Since then more than 60 original works for accordion have been commissioned from more than 30 composers.[1]
