This volume of accordion studies is related to the material used in the first few years of tuition. As a polyphonic instrument, the accordion draws its material mainly from the piano literature. For this reason we are providing learners with piano studies, which we have adapted only to the extent demanded by the accordion. Instead of soulless practising, endless repetition of studies, we recommend transposing the exercises into as many keys as possible. This will greatly increase their value and usefulness for development.

Das vorliegende Heft der Akkordeon-Etuden knupft sich an den Lehrstoff der ersten Unterrichtsjahre. Das Akkordeon als polyphones Musikinstrument schopft sein Material vor allem aus der Klavierliteratur. Deshalb geben wir den Schulern Klavieretuden in die Hand, die wir lediglich den Anforderungen des Akkordeons anpassten. Anstelle eines unbeseelten Etudenspiels, eines endlosen Wiederholens der Etuden empfehlen wir, die Ubungen in moglichst viele Tonarten zu transponieren. Ihr Lernwert und ihr Nutzen wachsen somit um ein Vielfaches.

On January 1st, 2016, Stephane Vande Ginste had an extraordinary intention: he planned to compose a 1-minute piece for piano every single day for the whole year. The result is an impressive collection of piano miniatures which - although contemporary - result in a variety of musical styles: apart from some experimental pieces, there are jazzy- and poppy pieces, more traditional etudes, polyphonic compositions and so on... The 366 pieces also tell various stories: from very emotional events like the terrorist attacks in Brussels over homages in honor of deceased artists (David Bowie,...) to birthdays and festive occasions,... . More than once, even poetry (Heinrich Heine, Anna Enquist, ..) or other pieces of art inspired Stephane to compose his daily one-minute piece. Every single composition originated from the here and now, and therefore capture the unfiltered feelings and emotions of that very unique moment in time: joy, enthusiasm, but also melancholy and sadness.
