After many years of teaching Accordion Jeanette and Lars Dyremose realised that there was a real need to supplement the existing Accordion literature with works focusing pedagogically on the development of specific skills necessary to master the technical demands of the instrument. This book not only contains some excellent pieces of Accordion repertoire but also gives information on the methodology behind 'The Life-Giving Bellows Playing' a study they believe to be a prerequisite for artistic Accordion playing.

Looking On Darkness for Accordion solo was composed by Bent Sørensen in 2000. Programme note: It is in the attempt to recreate a lost world without any illusion of its feasibility that we find the Danish composer Bent Sørensen's beautiful and melancholic music. Sørensen one of the most frequently performed contemporary Scandinavian composers has taken the title Looking on Darkness from Shakespeare's Sonnet No. 27. The thematic and intellectually clearly constructed form in which the inherent emotion is centrally placed and which characterises the sonnet also forms the basis of Sørensen'scomposition which is dedicated to Frode Haltli. As in Shakespeare's sonnet the past memory arises in Sørensen's music as it were out of nothing out of the darkness the silence; the concrete rattle of the accordion buttons and the sensitive dripping notes in the opening section vibrate on the borderline between the concrete and the hereafter. Loss and mourning for that which is lost and will never come again flow into the fleeting and poetic tones and meld together; the music oscillates lingers holds tightly to the absence slackens its grip tries again moves carefully onwards like the fragmentary memories in Samuel Beckett's late prose before the sorrowful voice of the piece just as beautiful and unobtrusive withdraws again and leaves us to the silence to what used to be.
Accordion and Violin soli part for It Is Pain Flowing Down Slowly On A White Wal...(+)
Accordion and Violin soli part for It Is Pain Flowing Down Slowly On A White Wall for Accordion and Strings by Bent Sørensen (2010-11). Co-commissioned by ULTIMA - Oslo Contemporary Music Festival Trondheim Soloists and Telemark Chamber Orchestra. Programme Note It is pain flowing down slowly on a white wall – the sentence – the title – was given to me by a Hungarian woman in August 2008. She put a note with the sentence in my hand after a festival and told me that my music reminded her of the sentence written by a Hungarian poet. It is music full of slow motion – full ofsorrow – full of tangos with no dancers. Maybe I imagined the tears of an accordion player flowing down slowly on the bellow of the instrument. (Bent Sørensen)
