FOREWORD to 1989 year Anthology VI edition
-----
Part Six of the "Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion" contains selections
from Soviet accordion music of the sixties and early seventies. In those years,
both types of button accordion were, on nearly equal grounds, partaking in this
country's musical life — the modern fixed-and-freebass inst-rument, capable of efficiently
reflecting what was "in the air", that is to say, what can be described as new modes
of thinking in terms of music, and the conventional fixed-bass accordion, which
was far from yielding to its rival.
Apart from original compositions, the volume includes some adaptations, viz., Sergei
Rachmaninov's and Johann Strauss's instrumental pieces as transcribed by Ivan Yashkevich,
a noted accordionist and teacher. These concert transcriptions enjoy great popularity,
which is accounted for, in the first place, by the universally recognized aesthetic
merits of the originals themselves and, secondly, by the transcriber's resourcefulness
in contrapuntal writing, ornamentation, etc., in other words, by his proficiency
in textural matters.
All the compositions and transcriptions selected for the present publication have
had an important part to play both in the development of our accordionists' technique
and in the cultivation of their artistic imaginativeness. Indispensable to the purposes
of pedagogics and concert practice, they have also been constitutive of the repertoire
of musical competitions — some of them are known to have been written expressly
for definite contests of young accordionists (by way of a compulsory item on the
programme).
Here is some information about the composers:
Yashkevich, Ivan Adamovich (b. 1923),
teacher, composer, concert performer. Graduated

the first Soviet rock opera, Orpheus and Eurydice), 3 ballets, 15 musical comedies,

Folk Instruments of the Gnesins Institute of Music, Moscow. Since 1964, on the staff

chamber orchestra; string quartets; vocal music. — His accordion works are justly
considered exceptionally important factors in the making of a repertory of original
compositions for the multitimbral fixed-and-freebass button-key accordion.
