От редактора во Всемирный День аккордеонаby Rob Howard |
В субботу, 6 мая отмечается Всемирный день аккордеона, и если вы нажмете на эту ссылку 2017WAD, вы увидите как много музыкальных событий проходит во всем мире в этот день. А все началось в 1829 году, в тот выдающийся день, когда аккордеон был запатентован Кирлиусом Демианом (в английской интерпретации Кирилл Дамиен) в Вене, Австрии. К.Демиан назвал своё изобретение аккордеоном, поскольку его отличительной особенностью было именно аккордовое звучание. Демиан долгие годы работал над усовершенствованием своего музыкального инструмента. Аккордеон прошел долгий путь с начала 19-го века, и он очень хорошо адаптировался ко многим международным музыкальным стилям и жанрам. У нынешних исполнителей, почитателей и приверженцев аккордеона есть богатое наследие именно благодаря австрийскому изобретателю и другим первым мастерам аккордеона. Поздравляю всех со Всемирным Днем аккордеона! Роб Говард, редактор |

Билл Вильки MBE (1922-2017), Шотландия - Великобританияby Rob Howard |
Билл Вильки был неутомимым исполнителем, учителем, бизнесменом и импресарио. Его вклад в шотландскую аккордеонную школу был огромным, благодаря ему ежегодно проводился фестиваль All-Scotland Accordion & Fiddle Festival и другие мероприятия, связанные с аккордеоном. Этот престижный ежегодный фестиваль, проводимый каждый октябрь в Перте, оказался конкурентным плацдармом для карьеры многих известных шотландских аккордеонистов. Билл и его жена Эна дали старт фестивалю в Перте в 1950 году, и в течение многих лет там также проходил фестиваль Национальной аккордеонной организации NAO. В рамках своего фестиваля в Перте энергичный Билл Вильки еще организовал множество вечерних концертов с участием ведущих международных аккордеонистов, таких как Гервасио Маркосиньори, Торалф Толлефсен, дуэт Париж-Москва, Перл Фосетт-Адриано, Даниэль Паули, Олег Шаров и многих других. Билл играл на губной гармошке с пятилетнего возраста, а клавишный аккордеон начал осваивать в 12 лет. В 30-е годы Билл работал в танцевальных группах, играя разножанровую музыку, в том числе музыку для бальных танцев. Во время Второй мировой войны Билл служил в Королевских ВВС. После окончания войны Билл, уже женившись на Эне, стал профессиональным аккордеонистом. В 1959 году он основал новый музыкальный дом Wilkie - один из крупнейших британских магазинов аккордеона - в Перте, который был закрыт в 2010 году. В 1994 году Билл Вильки был награждён высокой наградой Британской империи - MBE за достижения, связанные с вышеупомянутым фестивалем All-Scotland Accordion & Fiddle Festival. В 2009 году фестиваль отметил свой алмазный юбилей захватывающим шоу. Билл вышел на пенсию только в 2010 году. В течение 60 лет он был организатором музыкального фестиваля, это своего рода рекорд. Билл Вильки скончался в Перте 1 мая 2017 года в возрасте 95 лет, это печальное событие для многочисленных почитателей его таланта. |

Updated Arrangement: Gary Dahlby Gary Dahl |
Gary Dahl has released an updated arrangement of Sharpshooters March composed by Gerardo Metallo in 1911. This popular March is claimed to be the most played accordion composition and has been performed by tens of thousands of accordionists. Guido Deiro wrote: One morning, in the Fall of 1907, I was playing in Metz, Germany. I heard a very catchy march melody that was being played on a hand organ. I was so impressed by the tune that I made the hand organist play it over several times. He didn't know the name of it; all he could tell me was that it was an Italian march. At that time, I was taking lessons from the famous accordionist, Giovanni Galiardi. He took it down the best he could. Soon after, I came to America and played the composition in cities on the West Coast. And so you can see I have never claimed the composition as being mine. I did, however, introduce it and make it popular with the American public. The old composition, Curro Cuchares is never played in its original form by accordionists. It is, in every case, written and published under the title of Sharpshooters March, as I arranged it, as I introduced and popularized it. the true story behind the introduction of this composition to the accordion playing public. |
