Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. The sequence of expressively and dynamically contrasting tempi (Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai da lontano) creates a distinctly twofold form. Yet the two agogic-expressive strands display two features in common: musical material that remains constant for the whole of the work (mostly referring to the so-called semitone – whole tone scale) and a lack of stability and regularity to the rhythmic passages of particular sections, obtained through the use of such devices as pauses and added dots. This work was written in Czechowice-Dziedzice in 1986 and is one of two compositions – alongside Autumn Impressions – scored for amplified bass accordion. Dedicated to the French accordionist and teacher Alain Abbott, it was first performed on 27 January 2012 by Klaudiusz Baran at the 9th Witold Lutoslawski Chain Festival. / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Recueil / Accordéon Basse Amplifiée

Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. Composed in Czechowice-Dziedzice, in 1984, Relief I for accordion opens a cycle of nine works for solo or chamber forces. This work is of a sarcastic character, and its multi-segmented form consists of the alternating of dissonant ?quick? segments, dominated by sevenths, with two-part dolce segments led in contrary motion, as well as series of chords repeated with a surprising nebbioso (nebulous). Relief I is a work full of nervous tension, meticulously built up, and broken variant phrases, with a striking conclusion on a falling cluster, ending with an F sharp major chord ? like the many faces of a clown: thumbing its nose, sneering, reflective, mocking, pulling silly faces and? triumphing. This composition was dedicated to friends from France ? the Menards and their children. It was first performed by the composer during the Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt, in August 1988. / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Recueil / Accordéon

In view of the enormous upswing in popularity that the accordion has experienced as an avantgarde instrument in the last decades of the twentieth century, a systematic elaboration of the latest instrumental techniques and forms of expression, as well as detailed instructions on how to employ the accordion have been sorely lacking.
This book explains all the playing techniques, registers as well as tonal potentials and expressive possibilities of the accordion. It demonstrates the distinctive elements of these techniques and in addition, gives composers valuable information concerning notation.
A CD with examples of sound techniques and excerpts from the repertoire is included. An extra fold-out chart presents a full-sized layout of the treble and bass sides, helping composers to check fingering possibilities. This long-awaited book will be an essential tool for composers, performers and teachers.

- Comprehensive description of all relevant playing techniques on the button accordion
- Practical notation suggestions for composers
- Music examples from important contemporary works
- CD containing examples of all registration and playing techniques and excerpts from the repertoire
- Full size, fold-out chart giving the arrangement of the buttons on the instrument
- Text in two languages (Ger/Eng)

?This book by Bettina Buchmann is a real boon; it gives not only a representative overview of the latest instrumental techniques and forms of expression on the accordion today, but paves the way for composers and accordionists to compose and perform idiomatically on the instrument. The author and publisher deserve the highest recognition for this.? (Teodoro Anzellotti)

?The accordion has enjoyed a revival in popularity in recent times ? numerous composers have discovered it as a solo instrument, in chamber music and also for its orchestral sound. I?m really happy to have this exceptionally clearly laid out book by Bettina Buchmann by my side as a guide and incentive for my further explorations into the instrument.?
(Beat Furrer)
