Par MAROCCO FRANK. Arrangements came from many accordion players who are fans of my music. I have always written music for myself, mostly jazz arrangements for different groups that I played with through the years, but until I took on a few students in recent years, I realized there was not much interesting music for them to play. They heard some of my recordings, the solo one’s especially and ask…

Dvo?ák worked longer and more intensively on this Trio than on just about any other chamber music work. After his first successes with pieces inspired by Czech folk music, namely the popular Slavonic Dances (HN 757 and 918), he now wanted to prove himself as a composer of the highest order. This is why in the following summer, he thoroughly reworked the Trio that he had written within eight weeks …

Par MARCHETTINI PAOLO. I always considered the fugue the most perfect and pure of all musical forms.

Par REINHARDT DJANGO. In the world of Gypsy Jazz, the original Quintette of the Hot Club of France achieved an energy output seldom equaled or surpassed for 7 decades or so. Django wanted to have two rhythm guitars behind him when he soloed to give him a full sound. Then when Grappelli soloed, Django would interject himself between Grappelli and the rhythm guitar section. From this vantage point, …

Par HINDEMITH PAUL. The work of Paul Hindemith is encyclopedic in nature. From the outset, he worked in all musical genres and devised several of his musical ideas and projects not as individual, self-contained works but as work cycles with different functional relationships. These contrasting pieces complement each other if experienced as part of the overall structure. Hindemith himself not only …
