Paolo Picchio – New Book: The Classical Accordion and its Repertoireby Christine Johnstone |
  A book by Paolo Picchio (picture right) entitled “The Classical Accordion and its Repertoire” translated by Romano Viazzani (and edited by Ben de Souza) has just been released. The book is published by ZZ Music.This long-awaited translation of Paolo Picchio’s book will be invaluable for composers wishing to write seriously for the accordion and for accordion teachers and students wishing to deepen their understanding of the kind of repertoire that is taught in conservatoires all over the world. Publisher ZZ Music writes “In this 342-page softback tome he analyses 40 compositions for accordion since 1960s by 40 different composers including Luciano Berio, Sofia Guabidulina, Magnus Lindberg, Arne Nordheim, Davide Anzaghi, Yuji Takahashi, Per Norgard, Vladimir Zubitsky, Franco Donatoni, Vladislav Zolotariov and many more. He studies in depth their musical language and the way they wrote for the accordion taking also into account the technical feasibility of what they wrote and the difficulties encountered by the performer. Picchio also looks at the history and the construction of the instrument, the various systems which are commonly in use today along with their possibilities and looks at how technical developments have brought us towards the modern classical instrument and the possibilities that technical development have opened up to the modern composer and which make it particularly attractive to them.” For details email: prolococ@tiscalinet.it |
