Is Ode to Joy Diatonic or Chromatic?

It is completely diatonic. And it is nothing short of a miracle that Beethoven could come up with such an important and memorable line that stays completely within a diatonic fifth, with only an occasional dip to a fourth below the tonic. This refers only to the basic statement of the melody itself. The movement contains a great deal of chromatic richness. How did Beethoven do it? If he were around, he might be able to do it again, and pull out of 5 or 6 simple notes something magnificent that no one else has the wits to uncover.

What are accordion registers?

Registers are the switches that can be found next to the keys on the right hand side of the accordion. There are usually anywhere from 3 to 11 registers on an accordion. By switching registers, it changes the reeds that are used and thus changes the sound. For example, one register might sound like a clarinet and another might sound like a bassoon. Or you can have registers that are combinations of different registers. All of these produce different sounds and add more variety to the accordion.

What is a GCF accordion?

A GCF accordion is a type of button accordion. What GCF means is that on the right hand side of the accordion (where you play the melody line) there should be three rows of buttons. One row plays notes in the key of G, one in the key of C, and one in the key of F. This means that you can play songs that are in those three keys. To understand what I mean by "keys," you need to know a little bit about music theory. Think about it as if you were playing three different guitar chords, G, C, and F. Well, for the GCF accordion it is the same except with buttons to press instead of strings.

What other name is the accordion called by?

Many different names. The one I saw a lot more than others was the name Squeeze box. It makes sense, since the accordion is meant to be squeezed, and it's sometimes shaped like a box.
