14 Years Ago: Recital at Free Reed Instruments Conference, June 4th 2002by Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide News for May 24th 2002 included an item about a forthcoming recital at a conference about the history of free reed instruments. In recent years there has been much research into the evolution of free reed instruments, with books written on this subject.Hilton Hotel Recital and Conference – USA American accordionist Henry Doktorski will give a recital on June 4th at the 143rd bi-annual meeting of the ‘Acoustical Society of America’ at the downtown Hilton Hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The theme of the conference will be ‘Free Reed Instruments: Historical Perspective and Recent Research’. Doktorski will perform pieces intended to expose the conference participants to a wide range of historical repertoire for the accordion - ranging from early 20th Century compositions by Hugo Herrmann and Guido Deiro to more recent works by Astor Piazzolla - to showcase the varied acoustical properties of the instrument. The recital will conclude with a duet by Doktorski and Howard Levy (harmonica) - Bach's ‘Polka’ from ‘Cantata 78’. |
