“Jeux d’anches” – Accordionistic musical education through musical performance

Summary/Abstract: Since the second half of the XX century, with the invention of the converter system, original writing for accordion has come, generating new challenges to interpreters, composers and the instrument itself. Obviously, to approach new works, musicians have been achieving increasingly strict, disciplined and transversal levels of musical preparation and knowledgement in order to achieve contemporary language and technique skills. In this context, there is a vast repertoire of new works, such as: Berio Sequenze, Gubaidulina De Profundis, Bochmann Essay XVIII, among others, whose contribution to the music teaching and instrumental practice has a determinant role in the pedagogical and performance fields. The piece Jeux d’Anches, composed by Magnus Lindberg, is also on the list as an important contribut to explore the instrument (accordion) in the high level dimension and potential. Through this article, the author pretends to reflect about the accordionistic musical education, to introduce new performance possibilities and to discuss new writing techniques for classical accordion.
