![]() |
![]() Il neo-eletto Presidente Raymond Bodell (UK) ha dato il benvenuto ai Delegati per un week-end di attività che includevano riunioni, sessioni di lavoro informali, esibizioni musicali e incontri sociali. L’Assemblea Generale ha preso visione della pubblicazione CIA International News (Volume 8), e ha accettato due nuovi Voting members dal Gennaio 2010: la Lithuanian Accordion Association, Lituania e la Associação de Acordeão de Alcobaça, Portogallo. La CIA implementerà una nuova ‘Masters Category’ a cominciare dalla Coupe Mondiale 2012. Evoluzione dell’attuale categoria per fisarmonica a pianoforte, la nuova “Master” costituirà una sorta di ponte tra le attuali Junior Coupe Mondiale e Senior Coupe Mondiale, e come le altre categorie sarà aperta a tutti I sistemi di tastiera (come piano, bottoni e Kratskov). I CIA Merit Awards per significativi contributi al movimento internazionale fisarmonicistico sono stati approvati ed assegnati a Luu Quang Minh (Vietnam), Fritz Dobler (Germany) e Yury Ivanovich Kazakov (Russia). Intorno al 10 Maggio 2010 sarà celebrata la seconda Giornata Mondiale della Fisarmonica (World Accordion Day), alla quale associazioni fisarmonicistiche, clubs, orchestre, gruppi, insegnanti e musicisti sono invitati a aderire e registrare le proprie iniziative per la promozione della fisarmonica in tutto il mondo. Il Presidente CIA Raymond Bodell ha infine ringraziato Iñigo Aizpiolea e Iñaki Alberdi per il loro lavoro di preparazione del Congresso Invernale a nome di Hauspoz.

Belgian-born Gus Viseur (1915-74) established himself as one of the leading accordionists in the thriving 1930s musette scene in Paris, playing and recording with the likes of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, and Edith Piaf. Viseur was an innovator, developing a style that incorporated jazz into the musette genre, and was also a prolific composer, whose music proved influential to future generations. The CD ‘Compositions 1934 – 1942’ showcases Gus Viseur’s work from the 1930s, both as player and composer. Most tracks are performed by Viseur himself, with contributions on three tracks by contemporaries the Orchestra Musette, Joseph Colombo, and Les Freres Colombo.
