'Klezmer and Sephardic Tunes' for Accordion presents 33 beautiful pieces ranging from well known traditional tunes to the newly composed.

The collection is ideal for those looking to explore Klezmer music in more depth, as well as the lesser known music of the Sephardic Jews- drawing on the culture?s roots in Medieval Spain and the Balkans. The book contains notes on all of the pieces as well as points on general interpretation, and is accompanied by a CD with all pieces performed by Merima Klju?o.

German and French translations of all texts are available as free pdf downloads from the Schott Music website. Suitable for players of grades 3-8. / Musiques du monde / Partition CD / Agrafé /

This book is a mixture of traditional and contemporary tunes from the Scottish accordionists' repertoire.

It explores the common tune types played in Scotland, i.e. the Jig, reel, strathspey, slow air, waltz, march and polka. Some tunes are arranged in a traditional, dance music style where others have been set with a more contemporary feel as used by the author and many of the ?new age? of Scottish accordionists. Strong emphasis has been placed on the use of the left hand to enhance the style and arrangement.

Ian Lowthian was brought up steeped in the Scottish accordion tradition; he is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music who, since leaving, has concentrated mainly in traditional music as a performer, teacher and composer. / Musiques du monde / Partition CD / Agrafé /

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.

?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.?
