In the presence of the niece of Paolo Soprani, Mrs. Elena Soprani, major celebrations took place in Castelfidardo on the 20th of February at the Auditorium San Francesco. Castelfidardo City Hall in collaboration with the Circolo Culturale Filatelico Numismatico “F.Matassoli” with its compere Pigini hosted a unique event to honor Castelfidardos' historically most important citizen, Paolo Soprani, the man who gave birth to the production of accordions in the small city of Castelfidardo. All authorities of Castelfidardo City were present and everyone received a warm welcome by the Mayor Roberto Ascani and the director of the Museum Castelfidardo, Christian Riganelli. Castelfidardo’s Historian, Beniamino Bugiolacchi (Chronology of Italian Accordions and many other publications), gave a very interesting view of the history and life of this unforgettable personality, not only for Castelfidardo, but the entire world of the accordion. For this special occasion, a personalized stamp was put into circulation by the Luxembourg Post Office (picture above). The students of the local Music School Paolo Soprani made a lively animated event with their music. To complete this day of remembering – an evening concert took place in the Theatre Astra with Luigi Presta, who won this concert during the PIF 2017 and Manuel Marchegiani, winner of the Varieté PIF 2017 category who is a student of Renzo Ruggieri, Artistic Director of the PIF 2018.

Book Review: The Art of Arranging Classical Music for Accordion by Friedrich Lips - Germanyby Willoughby Walshe |
Currently, music schools and conservatories do not teach how to structure, design or implement arrangements of original compositions for other instruments. Friedrich Lips, bayan-accordion virtuoso and professor at the prominent Gnesin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow, fills that gap with what could be used as course material with his book The Art of Arranging Classical Music for Accordion. First published in Russian and then German, it is now available in an updated and expanded form in English. Although the book was written primarily with classical music in mind, the findings, declarations and descriptions are made by the author in generally understandable and simple words. Therefore, they apply or can be transferred to all areas of music, including virtuoso light music, folk music, traditional music, etc. Similarly, while explanations focus on the concert bayan-accordion with converter bass, they are equally applicable to related instruments such as the Bandoneon, Concertina, Diatonic Accordion, Melodeon Player, etc. This is an essential book for composers, professional players, musicologists and active amateurs who want to understand and create arrangements of music as well as interpret and perform them. They will find a discussion of the basic principles of creating arrangements. These are followed by countless tips and numerous examples in musical notations for using the characteristics of the selected instrument to the best advantage. Descriptions include the accordion’s tonal range, use of registers to provide natural dynamics, bellows techniques explained in detail to enhance certain passages, types of articulation to be considered and methods of artistic presentation. One chapter is devoted to arranging organ music, which is written on three staffs (two for the keyboards and one for the foot pedal), where there are certain analogies between organ and accordion tone generation. Another chapter concentrates on arranging piano and cembalo music and explains how to overcome the differences between the percussive and bellows instruments. Extensive and detailed registers with names, terms, literature and titles of music examples included in the text provide the reader with significant source material. The excellent content of the book corresponds to the outward appearance of the book: typographically lavish with finest Italian paper, thread-stitching, laminated softcover with double flap and exclusive design – worthwhile, treasured. 232 pages · 150 sheet music samples · Format: 17 x 24 cm · ISBN 978-3-925572-17-3 Purchase at Catalog No: kslips03 The Art of Arranging Classical Music for Accordion |
