The word “accordion” in literature has been employed with a rich array of symbolic nuances, serving as much more than merely a musical instrument. In Bret Harte’s work, the accordion appears as an ostentatious and evocative item—almost a character in its own right—imbued with the ambiance of rustic life and the caprices of fate ([1], [2], [3]). Meanwhile, Anton Chekhov famously uses the instrument to underscore themes of wistfulness and imaginative escape, as characters drift into dreams of grandeur or craft delicate, transient moments of personal expression ([4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). Similarly, Charles Dickens and José Rizal integrate the accordion into settings where its sound either invites intimate interactions or punctuates the rhythm of everyday activities, thereby blending the musical with the mundane ([11], [12]). Collectively, these examples illustrate how the accordion is not merely an artifact of sound but also a versatile literary device that evokes emotion, nostalgia, and the complex interplay between art and life.
