FOREWORD to 1997 year Anthology IX edition
-----

Part Nine of the "Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion" contains some pieces of this country's accordion music of the latter half of the seventies, when many professional composers took an interest in the modern button accordion, thus admitting the merits of the instrument and its culture; this interest on the part of those renowned for their achievements in orchestral and chamber music had been given rise by the generally known proficiency of our distinguished concert accordionists, who must be given credit for practically assisting the composers in writing for the instrument. E. g., S. Gubaidulina, one of the most authoritative — universally acknowledged — composers in these days, had been working on her accordion pieces in collaboration with F. Lips; G. Banshchikov, one of the leading Petersburg composers, had started on his cycle of accordion sonatas on O. Sharov's advice; the widely popular accordion works of A. Kusyakov had been called into being owing to his close contact with V. Semyonov; the Rhapsodic Sonata had been composed by V. Dovgan specially for V. Muntyan. As to V. Zubitsky, he is a talented composer and an excellent performer in one.

A. Kusyakov, V. Dovgan and V. Vlasov have contributed to the cause of reinterpretation of national folklore: A. Kusyakov was the first to utilize, in an original way, traditional melodies of the Don Cossacks in accordion music; in V. Dovgan's Rhapsodic Sonata and V. Vlasov's Paraphrase effective use is made of Guzul instrumental tunes. V. Zubitsky, in his Partita, goes without quoting folk motifs, though the spirit of folk music makes itself felt in quasi-improvisatory turns of phrase, in rhythmics, in many expressive melodies.

The compositions included in the present volume are constantly played in the classroom and in the concert hall, notably in young performers' competitions. E. g., all participants in the 1985 "Grand Prix" International Competition in France had to play the First Sonata by G. Banshchikov; those taking part in the 1979 All-Russian Competition of Folk Instrumentalists in Leningrad were duty-bound to perform A. Kusyakov's Fugue and Burlesque.
