90-летие Фрица Доблера, Троссинген, Германияby Georg Hettmann |
 |
  На празднование 90-летия Фрица Доблера (фото справа), которое состоится 24 июня, немецкая ассоциация Deutscher Harmonika-Verband e.V. (DHV) организовала прием более чем 60-ти гостей в the Dr. Ernst Hohner Konzerthaus в Троссингене.Фриц Доблер (в прошлом президент DHV) – важная персона для всемирного движения аккордеона и для ассоциации DHV, во главе которой сейчас президент DHV Йохен Хауссманом (фото слева). До сих пор Фриц Доблер пишет «нашу» музыку. Его замечательная музыкальная деятельность за девять десятилетий жизни, его приверженность и энтузиазм ко всему, что связано с аккордеоном, восхищают. Фриц Доблер - не только одаренный музыкант и солист (1 место в 1954 на Coupe Mondiale). Музыкальный директор и бывший президент DHV еще и композитор, дирижер, лектор. Страстью Фрица Доблера на протяжении всех лет остается музыка и аккордеон. Немецкая ассоциация аккордеонистов DHV и аккордеонисты всего мира поздравляют Фрица Доблера с его 90-летним юбилеем. А недавно был создан сайт на немецком языке, где можно ознакомиться с его биографией, музыкальными композициями, фотографиями, почитать с интервью с этим мэтром. Смотрите: Fritz Dobler |
Инновационный «Баян-Эрго» от Fisitala, Кастельфидардо, Италияby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
 |
 В 1980-х годах некоторые производители разработали аккордеоны только с выборной системой, но ощущение левой клавиатуры было не таким же, как правой. Поскольку конструкция басовых рядов изначально не предназначалась для игры на них одиночными нотами с применением большого пальца, но разрабатывалась для готового баса. Так аккордеонисты остались с моделью конвертера.Fisitalia пишет: «Мы разработали совершенно новую конструкцию выборного баяна «Баян-Эрго» со многими преимуществами: - Выраженный скос в левой клавиатуре и большие кнопки выборной клавиатуры (такие же, как и в правой) позволяют исполнителю держать руку естественно облегчает использование большого пальца; - Большой палец можно использовать точно так же в левой руке, как и в правой; - Возможны более легкие и свободные движения рук и глиссандо; - Эффективное легато стало значительно проще; - С большим пальцем исполнитель имеет увеличенный охват руки; - Теперь возможны пятизвучные аккордов в левой руке; - Самый низкий звук в басу: до контр октавы (в соответствии с органом или гармонией). - Композиторы в своих сочинениях теперь могут учитывать использование большого пальца левой руки.

 |
  Композиторы, а также аккордеонисты в возрасте до 36 лет приглашаются в так называемую Летнюю Академию композиторов. Это международное мероприятие, которое впервые прошло в 2014 году. Все началось с организации небольшого лагеря для композиторов в деревне Палендриай (Литва) в монастыре Святого Бенедикта.Сейчас, спустя 4 года, изменено местоположение – теперь лагерь располагается в замке Раудондварис под Каунасом. Изменилось и название, лагерь стал называться Летняя Академия для композиторов. Даты курса: 18-26 августа 2017 г. Срок подачи заявок: 7 июля 2017 года Цена: 200 евро Основное внимание в Летней Академии композиторов уделяется новым нотным сочинениям для аккордеона – как для соло, так и для камерного ансамбля. Художественный руководитель Мартинас (фото справа) сказал: «В этом году я с гордостью и радостью приветствую профессора Иньяки Альберди Iñaki Alberdi (фото слева) в качестве одного из преподавателей Академии. Иньяки Альберди будет руководить мастер-классами для аккордеонистов. Он является одним из самых известных и активных современных исполнителей, который способствует продвижению музыки для аккордеона по всему миру. Курс также обеспечит возможность получения уроков у композиторов: Доктора Руты Виткаускайте и молодого британского композитора Бена Лунна - приверженцев современной музыки для аккордеона. Как обычно, на мероприятии наряду с обучением пройдет и цикл концертов, в том числе, можно будет услышать мировые премьеры многих произведений, созданных как раз во время курсов Летней академии композиторов. Новые произведения также будут изданы организатором мероприятия - PI accoAkademija in Lithuania. Задавайте вопросы по электронной почте ask@composersplus.com или по телефону: +370 621 62222 |

| Since 1989 Nashville Public Radio has designated June as National Accordion Awareness Month. Excerpt from an article by Kara McLeland for Nashville Public Radio. "Chances are, if you’ve ever been around an accordion, it’s difficult to not be aware of it; the instruments (and its many variants) are unique in both physicality and timbre. So why a whole month dedicated to them? While the accordion is commonly known to listeners, many might not be aware of the instrument's versatility and its role in the world of classical music. Many incredible local musicians have performed at Nashville Public Radio, including two of Nashville’s finest accordion players. Earlier this year on Live in Studio C, Jeff Taylor joined guitarist Jonathan Sargent in playing several of Sargent’s original compositions. Sound file above: Track list: Mas que siempre, Tango 4 For You Spanish Sun Blazin' Fuego Evocaion In January, Jeff Lisenby performed a program with Matt Davich and Emily Nelson that included selections from Fiddler on the Roof and Turandot, as well as an original tango by Lisenby. Sound file above. (Jeff Lisenby has CD's and music available at: Jeff Lisenby ) Hear Music from an American composer and accordionist Pauline Oliveros who was always a forward-thinker. Oliveros’s A Love Song for accordion, voice and bass trombone exemplifies her meditative approach to environmental improvisation, and her love of experimenting in highly resonant spaces. She passed away in November 2016." Recording above. |

| The trio Kosmos performed a concert in Shropshire on June 27th, and following review was written by Stuart Spiers for the Shropshire Music Trust. “This concert in the Shrewsbury Music Trust series was at Concord College. Having seen Kosmos previously, I knew that I was in for a treat and they didn’t disappoint! Kosmos is a trio consisting of violin (Harriet MacKenzie), viola (Meg Hamilton), and accordion (Milos Milivojevic). These three virtuosi mix melodies and styles within pieces. Tempo, mood or dynamics can change at the drop of a hat. Throughout, there was a sense of playfulness and humour. Various effects such as ‘chopping’ and playing close to the bridge, or playing percussion on the accordion were heard. The first half opened with ‘Armanaki’, a Greek island tune, which then became Klezmer. The level of precision and togetherness is outstanding. The group play as one. The scene was set and they continued to delight us with music from Ukraine, Serbia, Argentina (Tango), Scotland, Sweden, and Romania, finishing the first set with a classical piece by Sarasate. The second set opened with ‘Liberklezango’, a mixture of ‘Libertango’ by Piazzolla and Jewish Klezmer. It was delivered with perfection and real energy, followed by a Kosmos original in a Japanese style, which was highly evocative. We were then treated to pieces from Serbia and the well-known Brahms ‘Hungarian Dance no 5’, given the Kosmos treatment. The last piece was a mixture of ‘The Lark Ascending’ and Romanian and Hungarian tunes. It was a truly memorable evening!" |

  Caroline Hunt presents some of her extensive collection of antique accordions and memorabilia at this July’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, Stornaway, Scotland. Caroline, who has been collecting accordions for the last 20 years, says: “One of my early Russian accordions was used in the film ‘Anna Karenena’ with Jude Law and Kiera Knightly. There are button accordions designed to look like piano accordions as the American bandleader didn’t want Frosini, who played a button accordion, to look different to the piano accordions! “There are also early examples of accordions made by Paolo Soprani, who founded the Italian accordion industry and also numerous German Hohners – a Hohner Sax that looks like a Saxophone but is played like a cross between a melodeon and a mouth organ! "And I also have a Hohner Shand Morino which was designed by Sir Jimmy Shand with Morino at the Hohner Factory in Germany, specifically for Scottish music.” Caroline Hunt’s exhibition of antique accordions is at The Masonic Hall, 55 Kenneth Street, Stornoway, on Friday July 21st and Saturday 22nd, from 10am - 4pm. Car parking and refreshments are available. For further information email: accordionbook@huntc.fsbusiness.co.uk |
