Hugo Goldenzweig

Chopin Preludes/Chopin Accordion Preludes recorded live by Micki Goodman at The American Accordionist’s Association Master Class and Concert Series (Schimmel Seminars) on July 29, 2010 at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New YorkBeethoven’s Pathetique and Appassionata Sonatas recorded by Hugo Goldenzweig at 90th Street Studios in New York in one take to create a live, spontaneous dimension

Notes

A Piano and an accordion (piano accordion) meet and share their artistic, cultural and social baggage. The piano with its highbrow connotations and the accordion with its highbrow/lowbrow roots take a journey into atemporal time and space where the bistro meets the salon. The accordion adds orchestration t the piano. It makes a coy, ironic response to the Chopin Preludes with the Chopin Accordion Preludes (Realities by Schimmel, not transcriptions). In the Frosini Rhapsody No. 2 (The Vaudevillian Pathetique), The accordion blatantly and skillfully imitates Beethoven’s Pathetique. Thus, two cultures meet-with no apologies or pretensions to create a third dimension, a dramatic presentation in past, present, and future.
