FOREWORD to 1991 year Anthology VIII edition
-----

Part Eight of the "Anthology of Compositions for Button Accordion" contains some modern-style pieces of this country's accordion music of the seventies. The novelty of writing makes itself felt, first and foremost, in the composers' approach to the folklore material, with a special interest in those genres of musical folklore which had never before been reflected in the concert accordionist's repertoire. In this connection, attention should be drawn to the First Sonata by K. Volkov, where effective use is made of age-old dirges, wails, ritual songs, calendar tunes. Another instance of "neo-folklorism" is the Russian Suite by A. Timoshenko, who chose to turn to some more recent types of Russian folk music, based on the viable formulas of conventional tonality, - stradaniya (rural amorous "sighs"), Russian quadrille, topotukha (a "stamping" dance, Voronezh Region), etc.

An altogether different trend is exemplified in the innovatory Six Children's Suites by Vladislav Zolotaryov, each of which is an impressive set of character pieces, positively Russian in melopoeia, somehow or other resembling the well-known children's albums for piano by P. Tchaikovsky, S. Prokofiev, G. Sviridov, as well as the analogous button accordion cycles by N. Chaikin and K. Myas-kov. The suites are amazingly diverse in content. Melancholy, joy, humour, magic...

A new word in our accordion music was Vladislav Zolotaryov's Hispaniad. The Spanish motifs in Russian music constitute a special chapter of its history; suffice it to refer to the Spanish overtures Jota aragonesa and "A Night in Madrid" by M. Glinka, or to N. Rimsky-Korsakov's Spanish Capriccio, or to the "Spanish Songs" of D. Shostakovich. In Zolotaryov, the vivid Spanish guitaresques, with their spirited dance patterns evoking colourful landscapes, are in the most interesting manner translated into the texturally rich and sumptuous language of the modern button accordion.

Besides, the volume includes remarkable compositions of our classics of accordion music. The Contrapuntal Suite by N. Chaikin appreciably differs in style and aesthetics from his previous works; the "Uglich Pictures" by Yu. Shishakov, proficiently embodying the wealth of Russian folklore, were written for the "World Cup" International Competition (Eindhoven, Holland, 1977).
