Выставка 'Willard Palmer Legacy' («Наследие Уилларда Палмера»), февраль, музей “World of Accordions” («Мир аккордеонов») – США

Museum
Dr. Willard PalmerМузей “World of Accordions Museum” в городе Сьюпириор, штат Висконсин, с гордостью и удовольствием сообщает о проведении 2 и 3 февраля своей новой выставки: ‘The Willard Palmer Legacy’ («Наследие Уилларда Палмера»). Расположенная в выставочном помещении Duane Sellman Special Exhibits Area концертного зала Hanni Strahl Concert Hall, эта выставка освещает деятельность человека, чьи достижения не имеют себе равных в мире, и чье влияние затронуло практически каждого американского аккордеониста.

Центральный экспонат выставки Палмера – его последний аккордеон Titano Emperor Super V. Появлению этого экспоната поспособствовал Уиллард Палмер III, который планирует посетить

В течение этого уикенда в рамках выставки выступят: Bernard Mateo of Paris, Pauline Olivera, Claudee Schmitt и Bill Palmer III. Более известные исполнители и детали их выступлений будут объявлены в февральских новостях США.

Д-р Уиллард Палмер (1917-96) написал 789 опубликованных работ, в том числе методику игры на аккордеоне, которая, вероятно, является наиболее продаваемой аккордеонной методикой в мире. Совместно с Биллом Хьюзом (Bill Hughes) он дал множество концертов по всей Америке, а также стал пионером аккордеонного образования в Америке, когда создал факультет аккордеона в Университете Хьюстона.

Также опубликовано несколько его фортепианных методик, методика для органа Hammond Chord Organ, методика для гитары, а также сотни сольных пьес и многих хоровых произведений, многие из которых были переведены на немецкий, японский, французский, голландский и испанский языки.

Доктор Палмер, который скончался 30 апреля 1996 года, был любим многими в музыкальной сфере.

Interpol Recovers Stolen Bandoneons, Buenos Aires - Argentina

Picture of press conference above. Argentinian newspapers and TV reported the recovery of two valuable stolen bandoneons. Marcelo El Haibe, Deputy of the Centre for Cultural Heritage Interpol section of the Argentina Federal Police (PFA) announced on the 27th December that an investigation started in August last year had now recovered two instruments of signficiant artistic and economic value.

The investigation established that the instruments were held by a group dedicated to stealing bandoneones and then selling them on the black market at high prices.

This group are accused of least nine robberies, their modus operandi being to use firearms to violently enter the homes of the victims and steal their bandoneon/s and other items of value such as jewelry. One victim was the musician Néstor Marconi (picture left) on 25th June.

The group would then attempt to sell the bandoneons on the black market at high prices. Haibe said "that these instruments usually go abroad because they are highly sought after" and "may be worth USD$20-30,000 depending upon the quality and age of the instrument".

‘The sound of happiness – an accordion’, Valetta – Malta

Marthese Busuttil CassarAn article from the Times of Malta.com:

She fell in love with the musical instrument 50 years ago and has since set up her own accordion band, now the only one in Malta. Today, Marthese Busuttil Cassar believes she would lose her identity if the instrument suddenly vanished from her life. And her passion for it has also drawn husband Joe Busuttil into her musical world.

The couple were the first to have an accordion accompaniment during their wedding and had to request special permission from the Archbishop to allow the 25 member accordion band into the church. Since they married in 1979, Mr Busuttil, now 58, has been repairing accordions, whose mechanism fascinates him.

The accordion is versatile and can be carried anywhere. It does not need the accompaniment of another instrument, because the right hand plays the melody and the left accompanies with different chords. Above all it is a “happy instrument”, Mrs Busuttil Cassar says.

She fell in love with it on a school outing to the Catholic Institute in Floriana, where the Santa Monica Accordion band, which has since been disbanded, was performing. She started learning the instrument at seven under the supervision of Sister Carmela Eastwood, furthered her studies under Sr Benjamina Portelli and eventually earned a Performer Diploma from the British College of Accordionists.

She has been teaching the instrument for 32 years and set up her own 18-member Santa Maria Accordion Band 20 years ago. One of her students, Cleve Zammit, last year received the Sir James Anderton Award, which is presented to the student who obtains the highest mark in the British College of Accordionists’ Grade six practical examination.

Mrs Busuttil Cassar comes from a family of musicians. Her brother teaches the piano and her father used to play the violin, while her grandfather Charles Cutajar played the clarinet until he was 80 years old.

She speaks of her own chosen instrument endearingly: “I cannot imagine the world without music... I carry the accordion everywhere I go and cannot live without it”. The 56-year-old adds that the accordion also plays an important part in the traditional Christmas procession organised for the first time in the 1920s by Dun Gorg Preca. Although the tambourine and triangle joined the procession in some villages, some choirs were also accompanied by up to three accordionists.

Additionally there are American coal mining songs of the 1930s and live performed accordion music.

Following 2010´s acclaimed ‘Lost Causes’ with new CD ‘Bad Old Songs’, they are joined on this tour by mysterious Klezmer legends The Brothers Nazaroff who recorded ‘Jewish Freilach Songs’ in 1954 (!!!).

Daniel Kahn: “In the desolate borderlands between Berlin, Detroit, New York, and Yiddishland, these Bad Old Songs are the midnight reveries of a lost time that is yet to come”.
