‘14 年前’: A World of Accordions Museum 展出Magnante的音乐和纪念物by Rob Howard |
 环球手风琴新闻曾于2000年10月6日报道了已故音乐大师Charles Magnante (1906-86)的音乐和纪念物展示的消息, 他被认为是他那个时代最伟大的手风琴家之一. Magnante's Musical Legacy Displayed at World of Accordions Museum – USA Contributed by the American Accordionists' Association "A World of Accordions Museum" is proud to announce that an agreement has been reached with Dr. Peter Magnante (Massachusetts) to transfer the musical estate of his father, famed composer and performer Charles Magnante (1905-1986), to the Duluth institute. Magnante and Faithe Deffner, President of the American Accordionists' Association, met with Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., curator of the Museum in September and made the announcement during a celebratory concert at the Museum on September 23rd. A World of Accordions Museum of Duluth, Minnesota is known internationally as a unique accordion research center, attracting students and scholars from many countries. Called "one of the most important developments in American accordion history" by Faithe Deffner, the Museum houses about 1,000 accordion-family instruments, thousands of recordings, hundreds of thousands of pieces of music, accordion-related art works, and many diverse reference materials. The Magnante collection represents an important contribution to the Museum resources, and this site of its permanent placement is viewed as appropriate of reaching a wide audience. The official opening of the display is projected to coincide with the AAA International Competition and Festival to be held in Duluth, July 2002, as part of the ongoing cooperative affiliation between the Museum and the American Accordionists' Association. Charles Magnante who was one of AAA's founders in 1938, is legendary in the annuals of concert and entertainment music for accordion. His acclaim as soloist and performer in consort with musical giants of his time is of singular stature in American cultural history. Respected by professionals and audiences alike, his compositions set technical standards for virtuoso performance while retaining popular appeal throughout the world. Harrington anticipates publishing a biographical and musicological study after reviewing and cataloging the Magnante collection. |
