Ricardo Llanos, докторская диссертация “Акустика аккордеона” - Испанияby Harley Jones |
В прошлом году Ricardo Llanos получил степень PhD (доктор философии) за исследования акустики аккордеона в Университете Страны Басков (Испания). Тезисы его докторской диссертации таковы: Наука об акустике свободно проскальзывающего язычка аккордеона дает очень важные знания не только исследователям акустики, но и исполнителям и конструкторам инструментов этого семейства. Во-первых, мы можем анализировать влияние на частоту и тембр, имеющее место при нагрузке на свободный конец язычка. Во-вторых, при помощи изучения эволюции гармоник и психоакустических параметров, мы можем охарактеризовать два базовых типа музыкальных атак (мехами и пальцами). В-третьих, мы изучаем устойчивое состояние звука аккордеона. Наконец, мы можем анализировать два главных типа модуляции тона или непрерывного перехода между двумя звуками (первый - получаемый пальцами и мехами, второй - получаемый только пальцами).

Лондонский Аккордеонный Оркестр (LAO) в Union Chapel, концерт и видео - Великобританияby Alison Worthington |
Видео: LAO представляют третью (финальную) часть композиции “Flight”. Видео создано Raphael Neal. Последний концерт Лондонского Аккордеонного Оркестра в Union Chapel был приурочен к выходу их CD (обложка слева), записанного на Abbey Road прошлым летом. Во время концерта снималось видео в поддержку CD. Концерт был принят публикой очень хорошо, особенно мировая премьера композиции 'Peace’, написанной музыкальным руководителем Ian Watson. Вдохновение для написания было почерпнуто из путешествия по Нормандии, поэтому музыка обращается к теме высадки в Нормандии во Второй Мировой Войне. CD доступен для скачивания на сайте: http://www.londonao.co.uk/ там же доступны футболки и другие продукты. |

Видео: Grayson Masefield исполняет мировую премьеру "Нового завтра" Bete Ilin - Швейцарияby Harley Jones |
Видео: Grayson Masefield исполняет мировую премьеру "Нового завтра" - последнего произведения македонского композитора Bete Ilin. Композиция "The New Tomorrow" была написана для Grayson Masefield, мировая премьера состоялась в сольном концерте для его Master Soloist, Ecole de Musique в Лозанне. Репетитором по аккордеону был Stéphane Chapuis. Композиция получила очень положительные отзывы слушателей и коллег-композиторов. Произведение предназначено для солирующего аккордеона в сопровождении струнного оркестра, который не был доступен, поэтому Bete Ilin переаранжировал "Новое завтра" для исполнения солирующим аккордеоном и струнным квинтетом. Bete Ilin написала: "Это произведение показывает часть моей личности. Сочиняя его, я хотела показать публике немного позитива и оптимизма - то, что преобладает в моей жизни. История такова - завтра будет новый день, который принесет нам новые вызовы, новые ситуации и события, некоторые из них позитивные, некоторые негативные. "Новое завтра" посылает аудитории сигнал: что бы ни случилось сегодня и в будущем, мы сами решаем, как нам реагировать!". Bete Ilin получила ряд композиторских наград, включая награду CIA Honored Friend of the Accordion Award в 2015 году в Финляндии. Среди других ее произведений для аккордеона и оркестровых инструментов: - Камерный "Il mio sospiro" - I скрипка, II скрипка, альт, виолончель и аккордеон Аккордеон и оркестр "Каприччио" "Capriccio" - соло аккордеон и симфонический оркестр Полный список композиций для аккордеона соло, дуэта и ансамбля можно посмотреть на сайте: Bete Ilin |
Roman Semeryak Presented New Accordion! @ Novosibirsk – Russiaby Rob Howard |
During his recent guest performance at an accordion festival in Siberia, Scottish accordionist Gary Blair was introduced to 15 year old Roman Semeryak, a blind Russian boy who is an aspiring accordion player in need of a better instrument. Gary then set up an appeal on social media to raise funds, and this received a rapid and heart-warming worldwide response that met and exceeded the funds required to buy a quality new Bugari 120 bass piano accordion. The presentation of the new accordion was made on March 25th to young Roman Semeryak at the National Bayan Competition concert in Novosibirsk, Siberia, featuring accordionist and composer Franck Angelis (France) and Roman Jbanov (France). According to Gary Blair, “He was the happiest boy in the world!” The following day he and several others attended a masterclass by Franck Angelis. Gary commented “The Russian people were amazed at the generosity of people from all parts of the world. They find it important to encourage the young talent in the accordion world and help strive for world peace through music." Roman Semeryak (along with his new accordion!) and several other young accordionists from Siberia will be travelling to France to compete in a couple of competitions and concerts ...thanks again to everyone that made this little boy’s dream come true!”. |
