Most of Guido Deiro's music for accordion was published by B. Quattrociocche of Steubenville, Ohio. Deiro was with the company from its inception; during its first year of existence (1916), Quattrociocche published thirty-six pieces, including Guido Deiro's Polka Variata (listed in the catalog as number 3).
Biaggio Quattrociocche wrote, "Guido Deiro had such a wonderful genius for composition. We had arranged that he would play whatever came to his mind, and I would write it down to create new compositions." See endnote 1
Probably in the late 1950s or early 1960s, Quattrociocche began selling his company to Zampiceni Publications in San Jose, California. Michael Zampiceni, the son of Joseph Zampiceni, recalled, "My recollection is that my father bought the rights to various pieces in a piecemeal fashion, buying the most famous pieces first. In 1961 our family took a business trip across the country which included a stop in Steubenville, Ohio. It was at this time that my father consumated the deal to buy the entire publication set." Some of Deiro's compositions were subsequently edited by Anthony Galla-Rini.
Some of Deiro's music was also published overseas. Count Guido Roberto Deiro, said, "Until recently (when the copyrights expired), I was receiving royalties for my father's music from SESAC."
