Emanuele Rastelli - Virtuosity (Live)
I wrote these études focusing my attention on all those technical peculiarities that are all too often overlooked or touched on only marginally, such as the independence of the 4th and 5th fingers (which by nature are weaker than the other fingers), the rhythmic difficulty combined with the technical difficulty (independence and sense of rhythm), the independence between the two keyboards, the ability to play equally in all keys, stamina, etc.
At the same time, I wanted the etudes to be real pieces suitable for performances and concerts.
The speeds indicated are designed for high-level professionals and can obviously be reduced, depending on the current level of the student who will try to study them.
As the student's technical ability matures, it will be possible to aim for the indicated metronomic times.
I wish everyone good study and good music with the book Virtuosity volume 1.
Emanuele Rastelli
"The main feature of this work is the absolute originality of the studies, composed specifically for accordion and mainly designed to make coordination, dexterity and endurance of the accordionist stronger and more flexible.
The compositions take into consideration those technical fundamentals characteristic of the traditional accordion whose right hand has the predominant part, and develop their way considering some of the main aspects of accordion practice such as homogeneity, independence and flexibility of the fingers, the passage of the thumb (scale-arpeggi), the double notes and the extension technique.
Another highlight are the interesting interplays between the keyboards with a rhythmic, polyrhythmic and, sometimes, a counterpoint character".
