The Accordion in the Americas
Author: Helena SimonettPublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252037200
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This collection considers the accordion and its myriad forms, from the concertina, button accordion, and piano accordion familiar in European and North American music to the exotic-sounding South American bandoneon and the sanfoninha. Capturing the instrument's spread and adaptation to many different cultures in North and South America, contributors illuminate how the accordion factored into power struggles over aesthetic values between elites and working-class people who often were members of immigrant and/or marginalized ethnic communities. Specific histories and cultural contexts discussed include the accordion in Brazil, Argentine tango, accordion traditions in Colombia, cross-border accordion culture between Mexico and Texas, Cajun and Creole identity, working-class culture near Lake Superior, the virtuoso Italian-American and Klezmer accordions, Native American dance music, and American avant-garde.

Book Description
Although born Giuseppe Guttovergi to a poor, immigrant Italian family, it was as Paul Creston that Giuseppe rose to prominence, becoming one of the most widely performed American composers. Rhythm was a continued subject of research for this composer, and by 1945 he had established a terminology of rhythmic structures, which he observed both in his music and the music of other composers, even writing two books on the subject. This volume presents for the first time a complete descriptive account of the life of the composer, as well as access to currently available materials by and about him.

The Classical Tradition
Author: Gary DahlPublisher: Mel Bay Publications
ISBN: 161911335X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
One of the truly great things about the accordion is its extreme versatility. Other instruments envy its ability to transform from an intimate solo performer to themightiest of orchestras contained in one player. The accordion can be as delicate as a single violin, and switch instantly into a full symphonic section of strings, brass and winds. Contained in this collection is a wonderful variety of classical favorites (as well as some original compositions specifically for the accordion) thatshowcase everything the accordion can do. You'll find operatic melodies, tunes you once played at the piano, art songs, and dazzling themes from well-known concertos. The book contains music written over the course of three centuries, from Rossini to Dahl. The Classical Tradition is destined to become a necessary addition to every accordionist's library!
