Friedrich Lips - Nuovo CD "No Comment" - Austria
Contributo di Dr.Herbert Scheibenreif della Friedrich Lips Productions


Il nuovo CD del titolo "No Comment" di Friedrich Lips è dedicato ai lavori del compositore Lithuaniano Merab Gagnidze e rappresenta un interestante mix di lavori di vari generi. Le musiche sul CD sono di Schnittke e Khatchaturjan (arrangiate da Lips) oltre a brani originali di Berinsky e Derbenko dedicati all'artista. Miniature di Solotarjov, Shurbin, Precz e Londonov completano il programma di questo CD.
Nella copertina del CD viene segnalato l'onorificenza speciale riconosciuta a Friedrich Lips. Il parlamento regionale di Chelyabinsk ha deciso di rinomminare la scuola dove il grande artista ha studiato: "Friedrich Lips - Art School“.


Nel 1960 Friedrich Lips è stato il primo studente di questa scuola che ora porta il nome del suo più famoso studente e nel 1964 il primo laureato. Friedrich Lips è considerato uno dei pochi artistiad aver ricevuto una tale onorificenza ancora in vita in riferimento alla fisarmonica e per qualsiasi altro strumento musicale.

Debate Proposed for Improving Bayan Design - Belgium
Contributed by Rob Howard

Belgian accordionist Stefaan Walraet likes to play a wide range of classical music, such as organ pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers. For this music he believes it is important to use the thumb of the left hand on the 3 rows in a very flexible manner.

Current designs of free bass accordions only allow the use of 4 fingers of the left hand on the bass side of the accordion, and Stefaan would like to see a more ‘ergonomical’ design for the accordion, so that accordionists can use 5 fingers. They would then be able to use the same fingering for the right hand and for the left hand! He believes accordion education would improve much in doing so, possibly reducing study time. The theory is that if the same fingering can be used for both hands, the brain is less ‘troubled’, enabling one to play more easily.

In the USA, 1979 AAA US Champion Don Severs, from Des Mines, Iowa, has produced a design for an ‘ergonomical bayan’. Stefaan Walraet would like to propose to organise a seminar or symposium or congress around this subject.
