Кому-нибудь нужны рисунки с аккордеоном? – Франция

Larysa Bodell Accordion Graphics
Будучи одновременно энтузиасткой аккордеона и графическим дизайнером, Лариса Бодель не могла выбрать себе два более различающихся увлечения. «Возможность объединить эти две страсти всегда приносит огромное удовлетворение. И в связи с приближающимся конкурсом «Кубок мира» (Coupe Mondiale) в Новой Зеландии я просто не могла устоять перед созданием какого-нибудь рисунка, связанного с этим событием».

«На создание рисунка, который Вы видите сверху, меня вдохновило экспериментирование с образом аккордеона, попытки сделать его внешний вид интересным, как вдруг мне пришла в голову идея, что мех очень похож на змею».

«Я надеюсь, что Вам нравится этот рисунок, и, если Вы ищете что-то подобное или совершенно другое, пожалуйста, дайте мне знать. Я всегда готова к поискам»!

Lips Accordion Workshop, Imst – Austria

Friedrich Lips
For the 10th time the city of Imst (located in the Tyrol, near Innsbruck) organized a workshop for musicians and artistes of different styles, from July 13th to 17th. Participants from USA, Germany, France and Luxemburg had the opportunity to combine some relaxing days with artistic activity. Bayanist/accordionist Friedrich Lips (from the Gnessin Academy of Music in Moscow) gave solo lessons to participants giving his view of how to solve musical and technical problems, performance on stage, etc. The programme of the final concert included works by J.S.Bach, D.Scarlatti, F.Mendelssohn, Bartholdy, V.Solotaryov and A.Khatchaturyan. Most probably this successful summer course will continue in 2010.
