 Friedrich
Lips, author, music professor at the Gnesin Institute for Music Education in Moscow,
bayan-accordion virtuoso, educator, musicologist and one of the most outstanding
bellowed-instrumentalists of our time has written this book for musicians who
seek to improve their performance skills. This very significant handbook provides
practical examples to be applied on a daily basis for the enhancement of performance.
An easy-to-understand presentation, the book leads the reader step-by-step
through the concept of tone creation: keystrokes, bellows control, vibrato and
articulation. The author goes into detail about playing technique: composure,
notation, fingering and exercises. The student working on technique is encouraged
to simultaneously explore aspects of interpretation: analyzing the content as
well as applying rules for tempo, rhythm and rubato. Because intense music
study usually has concert work as its goal, Lips concludes with an analysis of
concert activity: selecting the repertoire and conduct before, during and after
the concert.
The accordionist who incorporates these methods into performance
will acquire the skills to enhance creativity and the ability to maximize the
sound quality of the instrument.
