Hi all,
This time I would like to present a thoroughly reworked version of my accordion concerto. The first movement is ready.
It was quite an accomplishment, since I tried to make it within Vienna Ensemble Pro with an accordion instance in Kontakt 5. It appeared soon that VE and Kontakt are not the best of cooperating friends... In fact they hate each other and cause continuous crashes. I really had to abandon VE and reinstall everything in my DAW. Not too difficult, because of the limited number of tracks (14). Now I've saved the whole setup as a template and I can easily move on to the next parts.
The accordion is the Efimov bayan (in Kontakt 5). A beautifully sounding instrument, but very limited in use: no velocities, only 4 articulations, a logarithmic dynamic expression (which makes it hard to apply delicate changes in the higher volumes). In short, quite an adventure again, sometimes in despair, sometimes with joy. You know the feeling!
Enjoy the Allegro divertente .
