20-летие кафедры баяна и аккордеона в консерватории Conservatorio di Musica Luigi Cherubini, Флоренция – Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
В субботу 10 ноября 2012 года консерватория Conservatorio di Musica Luigi Cherubini, Villa Favard (Rovezzano), Флоренция, отметила 20-летие начала обучения в своих стенах игре на баяне и аккордеоне, которое произошло 13 апреля 1992 года. Фото 20-летие во Флоренции: www.accordions.com/cherubini Созданная кафедра баяна и аккордеона, а также образовательный курс соответствуют уровню преподавания игре на других инструментах в этом важном флорентийском институте. Основатель кафедры Ивано Баттистон (Ivano Battiston – фото выше) и сейчас занимает председательское кресло. Флоренция и Пезаро – два города, первыми открывшие классы аккордеона в Италии. Открытие классов баяна и аккордеона в важных итальянских учебных заведениях стало серьезным достижением, возможным благодаря многим музыкантам и педагогам, пропагандирующим концертный аккордеон по всему миру. Именно этим преподавателям звучали особые слова благодарности и сердечной признательности в этот вечер. С 14.00 проходила выставка экспонатов «Музея Аккордеона Кастельфидардо» и знаменитой коллекции fidardense.L, представленной Ивано Патерно (Ivano Paterno) из консерватории Кастельфранко, Венето. В 16.00 состоялась открытая встреча, посвященная Отцам Итальянского Аккордеона в рамках которой выступавшие ораторы вспоминали прошлое и делились некоторыми идеи на будущее. Координаторами встречи стали Бенжамино Буджолакки (Beniamino Bugiolacchi) и Ивано Баттистон. На концерт под названием «Аккордеон: прошлое, настоящее и будущее», начавшемся в 6 часов вечера, были приглашены люди, которые создали и продолжают творить историю этого инструмента: Гервасио Маркосиньори (Gervasio Marcosignori) – отсутствовал по семейным обстоятельствам, Паоло Гандольфи (Paolo Gandolfi), Романо Бенетелло (Romano Benetello), Ивано Патерно (Ivano Paterno), Каберлотто Роберто (Caberlotto Roberto), Джилберто Менегин (Gilberto Meneghin), Франческо Джезуальди (Francesco Gesualdi) и Ивано Баттистон.

В этом же году исполнилось 55 лет этому учебному заведению.

‘14 Years Ago’ – Maurice Larcange and Pascal Contet Join Forcesby Rob Howard |
The Accordions Worldwide news for November 20th 1998 included a report of master classes in Paris, France, given by Maurice Larcange (pictured right) and Pascal Contet (pictured left). Maurice Larcange (1927-2007) was both an internationally famous star of musette music and the founder of an accordion school that has produced a large number of star performers. Pascal Contet is still a very active concert accordionist and teacher. DANGER AND TRAPS - FRANCE Contributed by Frédéric Deschamps On October 31st and November 1st, master classes were held by two entirely different performers with almost opposite repertoires: Maurice Larcange, the ‘Musette Star’ and Pascal Contet, a specialist in contemporary music. The two classes took place in a new school run by Jérôme Richard and Frédéric Deschamps in Paris, as a way of inaugurating the school. Maurice Larcange shared his professional experience by covering on-stage behaviour, choosing a pseudonym, dangers and traps of the profession, information about the many works composed by him, and advice on album recording. Pascal Contet incites and provokes composers to write works for the accordion. During his masterclass, students shared his ‘Techno-Electro-Acoustical’ experiences, and had a taste of improvisation by creating an ensemble piece. The entire weekend proved full of surprises. |
