wim wakker Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I finally started a long planned project I wanted to do; publishing videos of rarely heard concertina music. I have quite a few recordings of concerts, radio/TV broadcasts, CD recording I did years ago, for which I finally received copyright permission. I will also be adding 'new' videos of solo repertoire in the near future. Since this is a concertina forum, I thought there might be some interest in this.....

RatFace Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 This is a really pretty piece, and sounds lovely. A splendid concertina too! I did nearly give me kittens though: I had just uploaded my "Andantino" when I saw the title page of yours pop up as I finished test-watching mine and I thought you'd gone and beaten me to it!

wim wakker Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 I just listened to your Andantino.... very nice! It works very well with guitar. I like the balance better than with a modern piano.. I am looking forward to hear the Cappriccio Mazurka.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did cheat slightly in the recording/mixing by boosting the guitar mic slightly - the live sound had an acceptable balance (I believe), but I would have preferred the concertina to be a little quieter. 44 minutes ago, wim wakker said: I am looking forward to hear the Cappriccio Mazurka.... Me too! I am part way through transcribing the parts in the vain hope that if they're easier to read they'll be easier to play. The edition that I have (emailed to me) has got pencil markings (fingerings etc) all the way through suggesting the previous owner had made a serious attempt to learn/play it. On the cover there are two stamps: Presumably the crossing-out indicates that it passed from Mellor to Maddocks. Harold Mellor gets mentioned here: https://concertina.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/PICA-Volume-4-2007.pdf and it appears that c.net member @Gerard owns his concertina: and HC Maddocks here: https://concertinamuseum.com/NC50201-003.htm I don't know which one of these two was responsible for the pencil marks...
