Transcription by Matti Rantanen for accordion of Einojuhani Rautavaara's Icons (1955) / Matti Rantasen transkriptio harmonikalle Einojuhani Rautavaara pianosarjasta Ikonit (1955). Rautavaara's early piano composition, the suite Ikonit (Icons; 1955) shows great variety in the young composer's style. The most traditionally Neoclassical movements are 'Kaksi maalaispyhimysta' (Two Country Saints), which harks back to the Pelimannit style, and the fast-moving finale 'Arkkienkeli Mikael kukistaa Antikristuksen' (Archangel Michael defeats the Antichrist). Another dimension in this music is Orthodox mysticism, which breaks forth in the opening section 'Jumalaidin kuolema' (The Death of the Mother of God).

This volume of accordion studies is related to the material used in the first few years of tuition. As a polyphonic instrument, the accordion draws its material mainly from the piano literature. For this reason we are providing learners with piano studies, which we have adapted only to the extent demanded by the accordion. Instead of soulless practising, endless repetition of studies, we recommend transposing the exercises into as many keys as possible. This will greatly increase their value and usefulness for development.

Das vorliegende Heft der Akkordeon-Etuden knupft sich an den Lehrstoff der ersten Unterrichtsjahre. Das Akkordeon als polyphones Musikinstrument schopft sein Material vor allem aus der Klavierliteratur. Deshalb geben wir den Schulern Klavieretuden in die Hand, die wir lediglich den Anforderungen des Akkordeons anpassten. Anstelle eines unbeseelten Etudenspiels, eines endlosen Wiederholens der Etuden empfehlen wir, die Ubungen in moglichst viele Tonarten zu transponieren. Ihr Lernwert und ihr Nutzen wachsen somit um ein Vielfaches.
