| This year's national qualifying contest for the 4th Roland V-Accordion International Festival was held on September 11th in the Federal College, Trossingen. After three years being held in Hamburg, Trossingen was chosen to simplify participation for candidates from the south of Germany. The jury members were Prof. Ulrich Schmülling, Slavko Avsenik Jr., Konstantin Ischenko, Dieter Wit, and Peter Müller Rudik Yakhin, who won last year, was again victorious. He was awarded 408 points, convincing the jury with his lightness, ability and the excellent breathtakingly imaginative use of the V-Accordion. His pieces were: Franck Angelis - ‘Impasse IV. Vivace Finale' (cat: angelis556), ‘Étienne’ - Nicolas Méhul, ‘Sonata in A major – 1st Movement (Allegro)’, and Luciano Fancelli - ‘10 km al finestrino’. The winner received the Roland top model FR-7x Hans-Peter Wöhrle, a stroke victim, was one of the invited festival guests. Mr Wöhrle has been playing the Roland FR-7, for years but was recently hit by several strokes, which both severely affected his walking and his speech. Still in hospital Mr Wöhrle asked to get his beloved accordion. In his touching story he told of how he almost had to relearn the instrument. With learning progress, memory and movement came back into the fingers, and ultimately to the entire body. This type of training to refine motor control was ultimately judged by his doctors as the key to the success of his recovery. Mr Wöhrle walked upright with his accordion in the room to great applause, told his story and played many pieces on his Roland V-Accordion while the jury were deliberating the contest results. With his story, he would like to help and encourage others with similar problems. For further information email: aktoprak@rolandmusik.de |
