Discovered: Historic Accordion Method Book from 1839 - Italyby Harley Jones |
At the Music Fund 'G. Greggiati 'Ostiglia (Mantova), they found an accordion method book, hundreds of exercises, and repertoire dating back to 1839. This book has been studied by Corrado Rojac (picture right), professor of accordion at the Conservatory 'G. Tartini' of Trieste, and Ilaria Nardi, his student and an accordion teacher. The method, written in 1839 by a priest (Joseph Greggiati) working in Mantua, combined his passion for music, for the instrument and its repertoire. From the book details, Corrado Rojac was able to reproduce a replica of the model of accordion (picture right), which has been built by hand by Adriano Clementi of Pigini Accordions Factory, Italy. The study included the revision and rewriting of the music contained in the method for the modern instrument, published in November by the Ars Spoletium. The book is titled: 1839 The accordion and the harmonica method bellows of Joseph Greggiati (picture right). It is planned to introduce this historic project to many well known schools of accordion: The Music Fund 'G. Greggiati' Ostiglia (Mantova), Conservatory 'G. Tartini' of Trieste, The Academy 'Gnessin' in Moscow (Russia), High Music School Trossingen (Germany), the University of Music in Graz (Austria), the Academy Arts in Bratislava (Slovakia), the Italian conservatories 'G. Rossini' of Pesaro and 'L. Cherubini' in Florence, the Conservatory of Prague (Czech Republic), Academy of Music in Ljubljana (Slovenia), the Faculty of Education at the University of Pula (Croatia), Academy of Music in Vilnius (Lithuania) and Conservatory of Mons (Belgium). |

Frederic Deschamps and Grayson Masefield in Chile - South Americaby Grayson Masefield |
Last month Frederic Deschamps and Grayson Masefield were invited to the Conservatoire National Accordion Santiago, Chile to conduct masterclasses and concerts. Music occupies an important place in the culture of this country and crowds can suddenly become street bands without having discussed the idea of playing something together. Ernesto Calderon (picture left top) organized in collaboration with the National Conservatory, the First National Accordion Contest Chilean. Accordionists from all around Chile found themselves in the capital Santiago and Daniel Rodriguez Calderon Hernann (picture lower left) was the first winner. Grayson Masefield performed classical and variety concerts around Santiago and had the chance to play with three ensembles including Ernesto Calderon’s group ‘Ensemble Transtlantico de Folk Chileno’ (picture below with Frederic Deschamps). The competition and seminars led to the discovery of great new talent and 3 accordionists will travel next February to study in France with Frederic Deschamps to discover his teaching techniques and participate in international competitions. You will be able to follow the evolution of the Chilean artists on the ‘Deschamps Channel’ from February 2013 until the organization of the upcoming Trophee Mondiale 2016 (CMA ) in Chile to follow!

Romano Viazzani to New York, 'Flying Transatlantic' - USAby Harley Jones |
After surviving the hurricane in New York last month, Joanna Strand returned to New York to perform in a concert at Feinstein's - one of New York's top cabaret venues. Joanna Strand was on stage with her Flying Transatlantic project right after Michael Feinstein had entertained the audience in the early part of the evening. Fellow hurricane survivors Romano Viazzani on accordion and John Bailey on piano, had performed with her last month in the rapidly rearranged debut concert at the other top New York cabaret venue, the Carlyle. This change happened after the Metropolitan Room cancelled the two scheduled concerts due to the approaching hurricane. The group, delighted audiences with their scintillating rhythms along with Nick Pini on double bass from the UK and Chris Stromquist from New York on drums in a jazz program of songs which spanned both sides of the Atlantic. Joanna Strand being classically trained is equally at home singing Poulenc as she is Paul Simon and glides effortlessly between songs of contrasting styles and heritage. Pianist John Bailey provides most of the arrangements with one or two written by accordionist Romano Viazzani. The accordion brings a unique quality not often heard in mainstream jazz which never fails to delight audiences who are always quick to comment on its presence. After Flying Transatlantic's resounding success Joanna Strand should be back in New York with the band in the spring. Three CD's available online at: Romano Viazzani |

Picture Required of Constant Busson (1801-1900) by Rob Howardby Rob Howard |
Rob Howard has written a biography of Constant Busson (1801-1900), the prolific accordion builder from Paris, France, but cannot find a picture of the man himself. Can anyone help? As photography was invented in the 1850s, I thought it reasonable that Busson would have been photographed at some point, but nothing has come to light as yet. I thought the French accordion magazine and/or the National Library in Paris would have been able to help, but not so. I have pictures of Friedrich Buschmann, Paolo Soprani and Marianno Dallape, all of which will be used in the future book 'More Vintage Accordions'. Another picture I'd like is Cyril Damian (Cyrillius Demien), but he's another one I've drawn a blank on. You can't win them all!! Email Rob Howard: robaccord5@hotmail.com |
