 Renzo Ruggieri has released a new arrangement. Catalog: rrenzo511 Figaro by Gioacchino Rossini. This is a very skillful and useful arrangement. The accordion solo is arranged for solo concerts and the same accordion solo also works with full string orchestra accompaniment. Listen to the video above, performer Mario D'Amario. To my knowledge, this is also the only version of Figaro for Accordion and String Orchestra. This Renzo Ruggieri 40 page score includes the accordion solo, string orchestra conductors score and all the parts for the string orchestra. The price of the music is only €10 for the solo and Renzo is most generously giving the string orchestra score and parts arrangement for free. Samples from the pdf music file are online. Catalog: rrenzo511 Figaro by Gioacchino Rossini for accordion solo and for accordion solo with string orchestra. |

 Anne Romagnoli (nee Piatanesi), music teacher, businesswoman and expert on accordion manufacture and repair, died Friday January 6th at the age of 90.Anne Romagnoli was the longtime owner of the Italo-American Accordion Manufacturing Company, widely known in the Midwest for new and used accordions. Many considered her to be the Chicago area’s First Lady of Accordions. The company has been located in Oak Lawn at 5510 W. 95th St. since 1996, when it moved from its long-time home in Gage Park, at 3137 W. 51st t St. It was founded in the early 1900s in the city’s ‘Little Italy’ neighbourhood and purchased by Mrs. Romagnoli’s father and uncles in 1915. Mrs. Romagnoli and her husband, Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Romagnoli - known as the last man in America who could build an accordion from scratch - owned the business from the early 1950s until his death in 1994. She also was owner of the Republic Music School of Chicago, which for years was headquarters at 59th and Kedzie in Chicago, across the street from the Colony Theatre. At the school, Mrs. Romagnoli taught accordion to hundreds of students, young and old. In the 1950s, before the guitar bands became popular, the Italo-American employed as many as 100 people. Today, it has a small staff. |

| Picture above: William Schimmel warms up before a performance of the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center in New York. Video above: The best known film appearance of William Schimmel is in the tango scene of "Scent of a Woman" starring Al Pacino. The Wall Street Journal featured accordionist Dr. William Schimmel in an article in the January 9, 2017 publication written by Charles Passy. The article describes how Bill Schimmel, "an expert on Kurt Weill, has been the accordionist for the New York Philharmonic for over 40 years. The New York Philharmonic often features unusual instruments which becomes a challenge for them to find a musician who is not only accomplished on his instrument but can also have a working knowledge of following a conductor and being a part of a symphony orchestra. Dr. William Schimmel has all of these credentials and more. As a Juilliard trained musician, he is frequently asked to play with the Philharmonic and other orchestras around the country. He also performs in the pit orchestras on Broadway, his most recent performance being the accordionist for the award winning production of 'An American in Paris'." On September 19, 2016 a free concert to honor the 70th birthday of William Schimmel was held at William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ. The concert was sponsored by the Composers Concordance and the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble presented contemporary music in honor of Bill Schimmel who has commissioned and premiered many new works. Over the years Bill’s music has been included in television shows and films. His best known appearance is in the tango scene of "Scent of a Woman" starring Al Pacino. (See video above) Bill Schimmel learned accordion as a child and attended Julliard School of Music where he received his doctorate in composition. While he was still a student at the school, his career was launched after he recorded songs of avant gard composer, Luiano Berio. An authority on Kurt Weill, Dr. Schimmel has recorded all of Weill's music with accordion Beginning in 1981, Schimmel’s Tango Project has released a string of acclaimed recordings on the Nonesuch and Newport Classic labels. The first Tango Project recording went to No. 1 on Billboard’s classical charts and was named Record of the Year by Stereo Review magazine. Schimmel has described the accordion as having a “built-in ironic duality,” both “elegant and vulgar.” That dual quality is captured in the tango scene of “Scent of a Woman,” where it adds a spirit of fun and an undertone of raw sexuality. He has served and continues to serve as Artist in Residence of The American Accordionist's Association (AAA) where he also serves as Distinguished Lecturer in Residence and member of the Governing Board. Directed by Peter Jarvis, the Composers Concordance program featured eight world premieres including music composed by Schimmel alongside compositions by John Clark, Dan Cooper, Franz Hackl, Jarvis, Gene Pritsker, David Taylor and Payton MacDonald. Performers will include Schimmel, Pritsker on guitar, the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble and the B3+ Brass Trio. Bill will be the moderator/curator of the AAA 23rd Master Class and Seminars July 28-30, 2017 at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York City. For further information: accordionbill@gmail.com |

 Archie Duncan, one of Scotland’s leading post-war accordionists, was introduced to the piano accordion at the age of ten, and found himself part of a Scottish Command Concert Party entertaining the troops during World War Two. In 1946 he joined the army for two years and gained further experience playing with unit bands, after which he began to study the accordion more seriously.Between 1948 and 1952, after which he turned professional, Archie entered Scottish, British and World Championships organised by the British Association of Accordionists, becoming the Scottish Open Champion four times during this period. His first solo radio broadcast was with the BBC in October 1953. In 1954, he formed the Archie Duncan Quintet, and was involved in broadcasts for many years. From 1961 to 1965, he was principal accordionist with the Scottish Variety Orchestra. During the 1960s Archie appeared on the BBC TV shows ‘The White Heather Club’ and ‘Degrees of Folk’. In 1966, he recorded the theme music to the BBC television thriller ‘The Dark Island’, composed by Ian MacLachlan. Since then, ‘The Dark Island’ has become a frequently played and recorded Scottish number – but Archie Duncan did it first! In the 1970s, Archie Duncan made two excellent LPs - ‘High Level Accordion’ and ‘Three Faces of St Andrew’, and also worked as a recording studio session accordionist. For many years he was a respected accordion repairer and tuner, and was the uncle of the present day accordionist Gary Blair. |

 Catalog No: DH0257 - Ashokan Farewell by Jay UngerArranger Gary Dahl writes about this new arrangement: The minimal use of embellishments is intentional so as to retain the poignancy of this composition. This arrangement is not hard to play but requires exceptional emotion to best convey the beautiful melody to your audience. Jay Ungar and his wife and fellow musician, Molly Mason, were running the Ashokan Camp, a summer arts school specializing in fiddle and dancing. While there, Ray Ungar composed the tune and their group, Fiddle Fever—recorded the song, including it as part of their 1983 album Waltz of the Wind. The inclusion meant that the song would need a name. Mason suggested “Ashokan Farewell.”. The release of the album generally coincided with the years Ken Burns spent researching and producing The Civil War documentary. In 1984 in particular, Burns was on the lookout for songs that could serve as the soundtrack for the documentary. Ken Burns heard the album and the rest is history.
