 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending March 17th 2000 included an announcement that accordionist Gary Dahl had been contracted by Mel Bay to produce a further 15 music books plus CDs.

Paulo Jorge Ferreira in Beethoven Event, Saint Quentin En Yvelines – Franceby Rob Howard |
 Portuguese accordionist Paulo Jorge Ferreira is a guest musician in an orchestral concert (MD Peter Rundel) featuring an interpretation of ‘33 Variations of 33 Variations’, by Hans Zender. The concert takes place on Friday March 14th, 8.30pm, at Theatre/Scene Nationale de Saint Quentin En Yvelines, France.When Beethoven, nearing the end of his life, composed that legendary piano work, the ‘Diabelli Variations’, he revisited music history from the Baroque to the Classicism, and challenged audiences of his era, anticipating many of the features that would feature in Romanticism. When Hans Zender undertook the orchestration of these thirty three Variations, he added to his interpretative task two more centuries of music. The result emerges in the form of ‘33 Variations on 33 Variations on a theme of Diabelli’, which fluctuates between an intimate kinship to the original and a detachment and which surprisingly stimulates the soundtrack of Beethoven's universe.
