Hello Norval. How cool. You know Renaud? Tu es francais ? :)
Hello, can you give me your opinion if you have installed internal microphones in an acoustic accordion and which microphones you have used! It would be to amplify the sound or to install an effect pedal like for guitars. ( ... feedback problem ... ) Any good address of installer would be also welcome Thank you for your answers and your advice Musically Gilbertus

I did not have any internal microphones installed. I'm sorry. You may have the possibility to check with Cavagnolo in Beligneux in the Ain.

Hello
I am an accordionist, and I am in the process of creating a small musette orchestra ; I play mostly musette waltzes from the 30's and 40's, but with this small orchestra, we are working on some musette tangos from this period, and I realize that my left hand is very poor, and flat : I am content to play BAAA/ BAAA, etc.... I don't know how to do better, how to enrich my left hand to make it sound a little more "tango musette" .... The guitar and the double bass provide a good rhythm, but how can I improve my playing?
I thank you in advance for your help (and your indulgence).
Sincerely
Philippe

Hello In an orchestra the goal is that each one plays HIS part...if you have to play - solos - then drop the left hand and leave all this part to the bassist and the guitarists who will be able to do the rhythmic... If there are too many people doing the rhythm, there is a risk of slippage or shifts. A drummer ..a bass ..a guitar ..an accordion for the melody ..or a singer for the melody and the accordion is relegated to making mouth holes and small choruses.

Thanks a lot for the time saved to start in this style and nice discovery !
Hello. I am a 58 years old amateur accordionist and after a few years off where I dedicated myself to the bass guitar, I am back to my first love! I have just bought a Cavagnolo vedette 5, 120 basses second hand and it is with great pleasure that I discovered this site really well designed and very efficient answering my expectations. A big thank you to the designers and musicians who allow these nice and useful exchanges. Long life to Partitions Accordéon and good music to all.

Good evening Bignou, Like the other members, I also welcome you among us. May this site bring you a favorable answer to your search for scores or advice. I see that we are (within a year) the same age, and that we play on the same brand of accordion. Indeed, I offered myself the last born baby of CAVA; the digit millennium. It's the best! It is all digital and especially less heavy than my old one which was acoustic and digital. Its weight was becoming unbearable for my back because of the various options on it (HF etc...). Go to YOUTUBE and type DIGIT CAVAGNOLO you will appreciate, I'm sure, the demonstrations of Matthieu who is the designer of this excellent product.well musically and very confraternally.MUSETTE27

Thank you for your very nice messages, there is really something to enjoy on the site and it works well which is appreciable.Musette 27, yes I have already visited the site of Cavagnolo of course and the digit has interested me well for its possibilities and its weight contained compared to mine! But it's the financial side that's holding me back for the moment ! I'm going to start with the one I have and it's still a great instrument compared to the Maugein étude 80 basses I kept religiously !!! I think it will be the gift of my retirement in 2017.Good day to all and good music, looking forward to reading you.Sincerely.François.
HELLO MUSICIAN FRIENDS

Tony Muréna has recorded a lot, especially in his last period when, like many others, he devoted himself to the interpretation of variety songs or fashionable tunes. It was necessary to forget everything that recalled the war and therefore also the music of that period; in short, the swing era was over. We have privileged here this golden age of swing musette: that is to say the years 1939-1947, plus some later titles where Muréna still has beautiful accents. If many of these songs have already been re-released on CD, they were most often scattered on various compilations, most of the time mixed with typical or commercial songs, without any indication of date or personnel, and in these times where one product drives out the other, most of these discs are not available anymore (1). Here is for the first time in 3 CDs, and in chronological order, almost all of Tony Muréna's best tracks, (with precise references and indication of personnel when identified), showing his immense talent. THE BEGINNINGS Born in Italy in 1916, Antonio Muréna did not know his father, who died on the field of honor (fallen on the Chemin des Dames). Like many Italians, he arrived in France with his mother, who remarried in 1923 to a fellow countryman, shortly after the First World War. They settled in Nogent-sur-Marne and then in Joinville. An uncle gave his first accordion to the young Tony, who showed a serious aptitude for music and studied with passion and persistence. The autodidact benefits from the advice of the great Médard Ferrero. At the age of twelve, he already performed at his first balls. Then, launched by his cousin Louis Ferrari (1910-1988), also an accordionist, he started in cabarets and guinguettes. He lost his mother and then his stepfather and found himself alone with his sister and three half-sisters. To make boil the pot he puts the double bites, puts himself in the bandoneon and quickly integrates the best orchestras of tango (Rafael Canaro, Eduardo Bianco...). We are in 1932, Muréna is only 16 years old ! His quintet is sufficiently famous to be part of the replacements of the holder of the Balajo. Having to go on tour, Muréna proposes to Jo Privat to replace him at the Balajo; the latter will remain there 50 years! Muréna plays at La Silhouette, La Boule noire, La Java, Le Pré Catelan, Ciro's... The guitarists Didi Duprat, Lucien Gallopin, one or the other of the Ferré, are then its accompanists. SWING MUSETTE It is in France that the first full-fledged jazz accordion develops. Roger Etlens is said to have been one of the first to play jazz on the accordion, followed by Louis Richardet and Charley Bazin. But these precursors did not record much and it is Viseur who will be the first great jazz accordionist, followed immediately by Muréna. In the absence of the American models, who left for the United States after the declaration of war, the pioneers of the French swing accordion developed a style mixing American jazz, French musette and gypsy swing. Viseur, Muréna, and then Jo Privat, renovated the musette genre in depth by eliminating the accordion's vibrating register, introducing more sophisticated harmonies, and embarking on the adventure of what is called im-provisation. According to Mrs. Muréna's testimony (2), whenever they had a moment, Gus (Viseur) and Tony (Muréna) would play together just for them. We have a glimpse of what this could give, with about ten titles recorded around 1948 by the two companions (Matelo Ferret would be on guitar and the double bass player is not identified). These recordings, not very well known, were released under the name of Accordion's Club (cf. here "?Home Trainer?", the magnificent version of "?Body and Soul?", the super acceleration of tempo on "?On The Sunny Side of The Street?" which swings to death, and "?After You've Gone?) They will also play with the whole team of the Hot Club de France, where Muréna joins in 1941, and meet in boeufs, after the concerts, and more regularly thereafter at the Mirliton, a dance hall that Muréna buys in 1949 on the side of the place Clichy, and where all the accordionists come, at least those who like the beautiful chords. Still according to Mrs Muréna, Django and Tony liked to play together... What a pity that no sound trace has reached us! "... We were in Les Sables d'Olonne when Tony learned that Django had died. Tony collapsed. That's the only time I saw my husband cry..." (3) MURÉNA, VEDETTE DES DISQUES ODÉON In 1939, shortly before the declaration of war, Tony met Emile Prud'homme (who was to become his brother-in-law), who had just recorded for the prestigious Odéon record label. He introduced Tony to the artistic director of the label, Edouard Dory, who was truly enthusiastic about his sparkling playing. On May 11, 1939, two swings are recorded, "?Madam's?" co-composed by Muréna with P. Fontaine and "?all is not lost?", a light swing by Louis Richardet. Jacques Petitsigne is on double bass, Matelo and Sarane on guitars, the latter illustrating himself by two remarkably constructed choruses and of course Tony on accordion, who combines in his phrasing beautiful and elegant. From the beginning of the 1940s, Muréna gave a new dimension to the accordion, surrounding himself with the best jazz musicians of the time: the drummers Georges Marion, Jacques Irsa, Roger Paraboschi, Pierre Fouad, the double bassists Jean Merlin, Jacques Petitsigne, René Larguier or Pascal Groffe, the clarinettists Pierre Gossez, Francis Camus, Lucas, Pierre Delhoumeau or Hubert Rostaing, the pianists Michel Ramos or Boris Sarbek, the guitarists Didi Duprat, René Duchaussoir, Lucien Gallopin... Between 1939 and 1943, Muréna drew largely from the gypsy source and more exactly from the gypsy source, by joining, just like Viseur (and a little later Privat) the talents of the Ferret brothers: Baro, Matelo and Sarane. In 1941, Tony becomes the star of the Odeon records and puts 22 titles in the can that year; the accordionist has perhaps never played so brilliantly. If his style is less fiery, less flamboyant than Viseur's, his touch is more sentimental and airy (cf. "?Le paradis perdu?", a magnificent ballad where Muréna combines finesse and feeling, this beautiful version of "?Yeux noirs?" with a long guitar chorus probably by Sarane, or these nervous swings like "?Le jitterbug?", "?Playmates?", "?Express 113?"or "China Town", an "American" jazz theme that the needs of the French production will rename "Chinatown", the opportunity for Muréna to launch some beautiful rockets), these last titles almost all interpreted with a septet with a very Goodmanian spirit: piano, drums and clarinet (excellent chorus of Pierre Delhoumeau). The accordionist treats the instrument like a real orchestra, taking advantage of all its resources: finesse of play, phrasing of a rare elegance, sense of exposition of a theme, constant inspiration. Stylist as there are few, he is never in the clichés: originality, spirit of creation and freshness are at the appointment. For Marcel Azzola, "?when Tony plays, we forget that it is the accordion, he is an authentic genius? Muréna is also the author of some fabulous compositions such as "Swing promenade", "Pacific" (a kind of blues that starts a bit like Django Reinhardt's "Rythm Futur", with an acceleration of the tempo illuminated by a sparkling guitar chorus, probably due to Baro Ferret, and rockets sent by Tony), "Ciro's", on which his suppleness and relaxed phrasing are marvellous, "Milk Bar", one of his most famous swings."one of his most accomplished swings or "?Pré catelan?", a swing recorded on May 30, 1942, a day when grace was undoubtedly upon him, since he also recorded "?Indifference? and "?Passion?", two masterpieces of great melodic beauty, co-composed with Joseph Colombo, charged with sensitivity and emotion, illuminated by Baro's chorus and which have not ceased to be played and replayed since. Muréna is thus, with Viseur and Privat, the singer of the waltz in minor which, imbued with a certain spleen, imposes itself as the masterpiece of jazz musette. MYSTERY AND GUMDROP !

I THINK THAT JJ's psychological attachment to me might be due to this deposit of my scorethe old gypsy I just thought of that when I saw your note about his hasty departure
I naively thought I would please !!!!
and I signed my death warrant with delation of my NAME AT THE TOP OF THE LIST because of his departure ... Surely
for simply having put this partition whereas he wanted to transcribe it!
THANK YOU Soit -il MONSIEUR jj do not be afraid I did not wish to take your place it remains free for your return you see the counter everyone wants YOU TO COME BACK !!!!

Hi Camilla,

I don`t know the reason for JJ`s departure and I don`t want to know.
Your score on the old gypsy you put in the accommodation section was very helpful, JJ worked on it the same day and he sent me a transcript with an idea of what I wanted to do with it (Thanks JJ) .

I don`t see anything wrong with it, I hope it`s not the original source.

However, unfortunately it is not uncommon to read about moments that are a bit spoiled, often due to the lack of understanding between humans.

I sincerely hope that everything will return to order for the good of all and the serenity of this space MUSIC above all.


Friendly

Good evening

if I may add a small note .... :

it is often that I launched and/or asked JJ for readings because no score .... but each time I proposed one to him to avoid a replay, it never offended him!

He left and I don't know the deep reason of his departure: he loves music ...
but I would lean more for an iterative non respect of the minimal rules that he sets to himself and that he expected from all ...

but we can always guess !

Hello,
My name is Gaël and I am 37 years old and I live in Alsace. I am married and father of 2 beautiful children. I played the clarinet during my primary school years followed by a drop out during my secondary school years with a return to the piano for 2 years in high school. Then I discovered the guitar with friends, an instrument that has rocked my musical life for a long time. In 2003, I started playing the accordion as a self-taught in the folk/traditional milieu (diato 2 rows). Two years ago, I started taking accordion lessons, discovered other music from other accordions and recently switched to a chromatic accordion.
I have a ton of scores at home and I hope to be able to return at least what I borrow here. On the other hand, most of them are edited scores (bought or recovered). Isn't there a legal or other problem if I scan them and post them here? Or do I have to rewrite them in a score editing software before posting them? Also, many of my scores are arranged for piano or guitar. Is it a problem or do you take them anyway?
Good music to all and see you soon on the forum or elsewhere, Gael

Hello to all; bravo for the new formula which gathers various instruments; myself I play chromatic accordion diato guitar piano, therefore that interests me greatly; on the other hand is it not possible to specify in front of the partition the type of instruments used ex:I think that this would save us time in selecting the score and the instrument.It is sure that it is a supplementary work; it is an idea like another; good day to all. bernard zanit perpignan .

Hello,
I was just thinking about it ;)
I'm looking for the best way to implement it!
Hello to all ! I introduce myself, my nickname is "Marco". I live in the 21, soon in the 39. Passionate about music, I practice the accordion since the age of 7 years (I have soon 53 years!). I started to play the piano at the age of 23 years by learning alone. I took lessons from a piano teacher for 2 years, and since then I work alone ... I learn the dry guitar for 2 years, still all alone, it is not easy for a former pianist with suspenders! I own a 120 bass accordion that I inherited from my late father which has now become a collector's instrument : it's a HOHNER ATLANTIC 3 from 1975 that I had completely restored at the HOHNER factory in Semur en Auxois . It has a nice sound and I still play regularly with it. My piano is a beautiful PLEYEL P 170 with tail 174 cm long. My guitar is an ADMIRA ROSARIO , a classical dry guitar that sounds quite good, enough to start with . See you soon on the forum and on the site for research of scores . May the music be good !
