Although the
accordion is an import from Europe, it originates in the Chinese
Cheng. China lags behind some other countries in terms of accordion
playing, composition and theory. We are on the primary stage of
basic accordion theory research, the level of normalised and systematic
teaching is low except in music conservatories and teacher universities
and colleges. We should make much effort to do some promoting
work in these respects, especially to strengthen the nationalisation
of the accordion art.
Reasons
for Nationalising the Accordion Art
Music
is a reflection of the social life and consequently the content
of musical compositions is filled with feeling and will. The
melody, musical colour, form and harmony of an ethnic group
can arouse the feeling of the group. So a good emphasis of the
art form typical of a nation could endow compositions with national
style and make the nation like them, and at the same time, rank
them with world famous musical pieces in the world because of
their national style.
The
Way to Strengthen the Construction of Accordion Nationalisation
- Composing
more accordion compositions with national style.
- Embodying
national style and characteristics in playing.
- Embodying
national characteristics in arranging chords.
- Producing
Chinese accordions.
The
Relationship Between the Construction of the Accordion Nationalisation
and the Founding of the Chinese Accordion School
The Chinese
Accordion School is one with the characteristics of the Chinese
nation. To fund such a school we will train a group of composers,
accordionists, teachers and accordion producers.
