Randy Stein Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Very nice. Boris taught that to me and it was always a favorite. He told me that it was one his father, Gregori used often as an encore. rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Wilson Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Fantastic, great standing performance, very animated. Yes, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 By the way, I transposed the Czardas to G minor, as it fits the 48-key better and added some chords. Here my version, if you want to try: Czardas Gm.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Wooff Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The G minor sould like a good idea Robert. Could you tell us more about your piccolo size Treble... it has a great tone ? Oh, and congratulations to your very able Pianist as well. Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Glorious stuff. Something to aspire to. And thanks for sharing the dots. Just make sure no one suggests it to Jim as tune of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzertino Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) As far as I know there are only two piccolo-sized trebles in existence ( correct me, if I'm wrong! ), both metal ended. One is in New York in able hands. I was lucky to buy the other one on ebay off Chris Algar a couple of years ago. But unfortunately mine is a late model, and I never liked the action and the ends... But I found out that with a little twist the ends can be swapped around with a normal piccolo Aeola! However such a small instrument uses a lot of air, so the original sixfolders didn't quite do the job. Hence I asked Steve Dickinson to make me a new set of bellows to fit the reed-pans of the metal ended piccolo-treble and the ends of my Amboyna piccolo! Out came the finest concertina I ever had!! A normal treble now seems bulky to me... The original bellows and ends are in the process of being converted to MIDI...

Rod Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I wonder if this tune has been successfully attempted on a top quality Anglo ? It requires some extremely fast and nifty changes of bellows direction but ( in theory ! ) it is perhaps not an entirely unrealistic challenge ?

It requires some extremely fast and nifty changes of bellows direction but ( in theory ! ) it is perhaps not an entirely unrealistic challenge ? I imagine it would be possible, but as you say a challenge, on a 38 or 40 button anglo, but I ask myself what more the anglo could possibly bring to the table? It seems such a perfect piece for the English system? I think the fingering patterns on an anglo would make it more difficult to get up to speed. But anyone going to try?

conzertino Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I was surprised to find, that an anglo-player had a go at another one of my tricky party-pieces: Flambee Montalbanaise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3Lw_eih7-0 This would be the original by Gus Viseur.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NLITZx3IYI Edited October 25, 2014 by conzertino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
