FOREWORD to 1988 year Anthology V edition
-----

Part Five of our "Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion" is made up of instructive and concert pieces of this country's accordion music of the sixties; among the composers are G. Shenderyov, K. Myaskov, N. Chaikin, A. Repnikov, A. Timoshenko, Vl. Zolotaryov. The works included in the present volume are frequently broadcast by Radio Moscow and Soviet Television, they are found in the catalogues of Melodiya Records; most of them are constantly heard in national and international performers' competitions.

New thoughts and feelings, new facets of artistic imagery emerged in our accordion music in the sixties, with depth and tensity of expression characteristic of quite a few compositions brought into existence in those years (e. g., Concert Suite by N. Chaikin, Partita by Vl. Zolotaryov); inter alia, rise had been given to music evoking phantasmagoric visions (Capriccio by A. Repnikov, Chamber Suite by Vl. Zolotaryov). In short, the listener was no longer supposed to get by with a portion of optimism and light-heartedness.

And, as a matter of course, stylistic innovations had not been slow in advancement: the range of expressive devices can be said to have grown to be incomparably more comprehensive than in the previous decades. Suffice it to say that it was in the sixties that many a composer of accordion music had taken to making use of apparently discordant elements in melody and harmony, and of certain novel patterns both in the matter of tonal organization and in the domain of rhythm.

Alongside of numerous pieces of music immediately informed by traditional (folk-song) melopoeia (G. Shenderyov; A. Timoshenko; Vl. Zolotaryov— "Contemplating the Dionysian Frescoes of St. Therapont's Monastery"), new-style works had been called into being — compositions which bear but an indirect relation to the musical vocabulary of traditional folklore in that what can be identified as folk-song idioms appears to be, so to speak, dissolved in a highly individualized musical language (N. Chaikin, K. Myaskov, A. Repnikov, Vl. Zolotaryov).

Another distinctive feature of the bulk of what had been written for the instrument here in the Soviet Union within the period in question is bound up with the circumstance that the sixties were the years of the fixed-and-freebass button accordion making its way in performing practice, which could not but greatly widen the circle of textural, timbral and dynamic means at our disposal.

All in all, the present volume reflects an exceedingly important stage in the upbuilding of the concert repertoire of accordionists, and in the development of the art of playing the instrument.

Here is some information about the composers: —
