Doorslaande Tongen Workshops - Netherlandsby Christine Johnstone |
 |
| Following the cancellation of 2020 workshops due to Covid-19, a weekend of Doorslaande Tongen Workshops will be held from 19th to 21st November 2021 at the Beukenhof in PJ Biezenmortel, Netherlands, organised by Stichting Volksmuziek Nederland. The workshops will include the following: • Make It Beautiful with Frans Tromp for medium to advanced CF. If you can play a melody, that's not the end, but it's just beginning. Then it's time to put a personal note on it. • Functional decorating in rhythmic music with Kok de Koning - Applying 2-row CF and 3-rower GCF He will work on some not too difficult instrumental pieces with different decorations that are functional in rhythmic music. Think of musical styles such as polka, cumbia and tarantella. • Decorate with the bellows with Wim Dictus for medium to advanced GC. It is sometimes difficult enough to (just) put down one melody beautifully or to come up with a nice accompaniment in the basses. Should we start varying and decorating? Is that any use? Sometimes it is, often it isn't. • Decorating on accordion bellows and other instruments with Mayke van den Broek for beginners and average players. Mayke enjoys playing music from different countries and usually the decoration of the melody or rhythm comes naturally, sometimes because the atmosphere of the music demands it or because it fits the tradition of music. • What makes a tune "Irish"? with Mariëtte Kuipers-van Kooten for 2-rower G/C, D/G, A/D, B/C, C#/D or in consultation. This course will cover the learning of different Irish melodies, both by ear, or as the Irish say “Playing by heart”, and of sheet music. And what makes an Irish melody Irish? What is the essence of a tune? We mainly focus on learning different decorations in the tunes, such as rolls, triplets and swing. For details email: secretariaat@volksmuziek.nl |

Kevin Friedrich Releases 'Reflections' CD - USAby Heather Masefield Secretary, New Zealand Accordion Association |
 |
 New York based accordionist Kevin Friedrich has recently released a CD of his live performances titled ‘Reflections’, catalog friedrich02. Kevin says “Over the course of my accordion career I have had the joy of performing an array of music spanning transcriptions, showcasing the genius of the great Masters such as Johann Sebastian Bach through to creative original works for the accordion. Many of these performances were in conjunction with my days of competing in International competitions such as the Confédération Internationale des Accordéonistes (CIA) Coupe Mondiale (1979, 1980 and 1981) and Klingenthal (1986) and during my Conservatory studies in both Kansas City (USA) and Paris (France).” Kevin goes on to say “One of the few regrets I have in life, is that I didn’t professionally record all this magnificent repertoire at the time I was performing it. In those days it was a rapid succession of exams and competitions often enticing new works. In the excitement and challenge of learning, the older repertoire was often unceremoniously discarded, making way for the new. Fortunately not all was completely lost and there were occasions that my live performances were recorded. Often these were made on cassette tapes, as was common in the 1970s and 1980s. While not ideal in this age of digital recording, in the interest of preserving recordings for prosperity’s sake, I feel blessed to have them.” At the request of the New Zealand Accordion Association (NZAA) Kevin has now compiled a series of his performances which will serve as a historical record of some of his work. An exponent of both the piano and button keyboards, some of the pieces are performed on his Pigini Super Sirius Bayan, (Instrument No. 85 - C System) and some on his Titano Emperor JW5 Piano Accordion (quint free bass system). The tracks include: Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) by J. S. Bach; A Farewell to St. Petersburg, No. 10, The Lark by Mikhail Glinka, arr. M. Balakirev; Reflections by Karen Fremar (I. The Prairie, II. The Plaza, III. The Festival); Four Pieces in Old Style, (III. Aria) by Georgiy Shenderev; Prelude and Fugue “The Great” in A minor (BWV 543) by J. S. Bach; Sonata by Alexander Timoshenko (II. Rondo, III. Lento Doloroso, IV. Rondo Finale); Prelude and Fugue No. XV in G Major (WTC I - BWV 860) by J. S. Bach; Concert Suite for Accordion by Albin Repnikov (I. Recitative and Toccata) and Sonata No. 2 (III. Vivacissimo Con Spirito) by Vladislav Zolotaryov.
