Heinrich Band: Namesake, but Not Inventor of the Bandoneon - Germanyby Diatonic News |
 |
  This article was published already last year, but we think its very interesting - so we would like to suggest to our readers that you reread:The beginnings of the bandoneon or those German Concertinas that were later called bandoneons is situated in the town of Carlsfeld (Saxony) in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge). After Carl Friedrich Uhlig (1790–1874) developed the first German Concertina in Chemnitz in 1834, it was Carl Friedrich Zimmermann (1817–1898) who started producing German Concertinas in the attic of his parents’ house in Carlsfeld around 1840, further developed them and some few years later invented an instrument that later became known and sold worldwide under the name “Bandoneon.” This is a fact about which there is no doubt in the general public as well as among experts and which has been historically proven. Until recently! A specialist book, which has been available on the German market since May 15, 2020, states with remarkable explicitness that Krefeld merchant Heinrich Band (1821–1860) invented the bandoneon and subsequently makes the city of Krefeld the instrument’s birthplace. Under the title “Heinrich Band. Bandoneon” (subtitle: “Die Reise eines Instruments aus dem niederrheinischen Krefeld in die Welt” [The journey of an instrument from Krefeld, Lower Rhine, into the world]), it is both the “Förderverein für das Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld e.V.” [Sponsoring Society for the Cultural Office of the Krefeld] as editor and Janine Krüger as author who propagate this in a colorful and lavishly produced book. The book was published by Klartext Verlag, Essen, and financially opulently supported by “Sparkassen Kulturstiftung Krefeld,” [the savings bank cultural foundation] “Stadt Krefeld,” [City of Krefeld] the “Kunst Stiftung NRW” [Art Foundation North Rhine-Westphalia] and the “Kulturbüro Krefeld” [Cultural Office of Krefeld] as well as the “Förderverein für das Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld e.V.” (the association is at the same time the editor and financial supporter itself); further backed by Klaus Kokol (Krefeld city council member, deputy Social Democratic Party of Germany parliamentary group leader, director of the legal department) and Jürgen Sauerland-Freer (former head of Krefeld’s culture department and predecessor of Dr. Gabriele König). According to the book information, besides the editor and author is an editorial staff, which includes Prof. Gerhard Hahn (an engineer, sculptor and designer based in Krefeld), Dr. Gabriele König (head of Krefeld’s Culture Department as well as head of the city’s Culture Office) and Burkhard Ostrowski (Krefeld culture office employee). Thus, there is a concentrated municipal energy in the background. The fact that local patriotism and cultural enthusiasm for the city go so far that music history is “bent” in order to attract even more public attention and publicity, is not only outlandish but also reprehensible. But above all, it is completely unnecessary. To be sure, the name “bandoneon” actually derives from the Krefeld family name of Heinrich Band. But apart from the fact that this instrument name did not originate from Band himself, but from a third party, Band has demonstrably never been an instrument manufacturer, but no more and no less was one of several music dealers who bought various instruments from different manufacturers and sold them to their customers. The relevant professional music circles stood on their heads by this snubbing presumption, especially inasmuch as the editors and local politicians not only leave it misrepresented in their book, but use all available types of media exploitation (advertising videos, launched newspaper releases, internet articles, radio reports, etc.) to pursue their historical fact suppression bluntly and widely. It is to be hoped that this does not result in what is widespread in today’s society, namely that untruth becomes truth if it is repeated only loudly and often enough. Heinrich Band. Bandoneon (“Förderverein für das Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld e.V.” as editor and Janine Krüger as author), in German language only. ISBN 978-3-8375-1970-9 - format 23 x 23 cm - 368 pages - four-color throughout with numerous photos and illustrations - hardcover, thread stitching - price 29.95 euros - circulation: 700 copies.4 Ulrich Schmülling, July 15th 2020 (picture above) Translation: Willoughby Ann Walshe (picture above) Excerpt from Research by Norbert Seidel about Invention of Bandoneon in German Article about: Willoughby Ann Walshe 80th Birthday, Kamen - Germany http://www.accordions.com/news.aspx?d=21-Apr-2017&lang=en#art12985 German Heinrich Band: Namensgeber, aber nicht Erfinder des Bandoneons Die Wiege des Bandoneons bzw. der Concertinas, die man später Bandoneon nannte, befindet sich in dem Ort Carlsfeld im Erzgebirge in Sachsen. Nachdem Carl Friedrich Uhlig (1790–1874) im Jahre 1834 in Chemnitz die erste „Deutsche Konzertina“ entwickelt hatte, war es Carl Friedrich Zimmermann (1817–1898) in Carlsfeld, der um das Jahr 1840 erste Handzuginstrumente in der Dachkammer seines elterlichen Hauses herstellte, weiterentwickelte und wenige Jahre später eine Harmonika erfand, die später unter dem Namen „Bandoneon“ (bzw. „Bandonion“) weltweit bekannt und verkauft wurde. Das ist eine Tatsache, über die in der Allgemeinheit wie in Fachkreisen keine Zweifel bestanden haben und die historisch belegt ist. Bis vor kurzem! Seit dem 15. Mai diesen Jahres (2020) ist auf dem deutschen Markt ein Fachbuch erhältlich, das den Krefelder Kaufmann Heinrich Band (1821–1860) mit bemerkenswerter Ausdrücklichkeit als Erfinder des Bandoneons erklärt und die Stadt Krefeld im Nachgang zur Geburtsstätte des Bandoneons macht. Unter dem Titel „Heinrich Band. Bandoneon“ (Untertitel: Die Reise eines Instruments aus dem niederrheinischen Krefeld in die Welt) sind es sowohl der „Förderverein für das Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld e.V.“ als Herausgeber als auch Janine Krüger als Autorin, die dies in einem farbenprächtigen und aufwendig produzierten Buch propagieren. Erschienen ist der Titel im Klartext Verlag, Essen, finanziell opulent gefördert wurde er durch die „Sparkassen Kulturstiftung Krefeld“, die „Stadt Krefeld“, die „Kunst Stiftung NRW“ und das „Kulturbüro Krefeld“ sowie ausweislich durch den „Förderverein für das Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld e.V.“ (der Förderverein ist gleichzeitig Herausgeber und fördert sich selbst); im weiteren unterstützt von Klaus Kokol (Mitglied des Rates der Stadt Krefeld, stellv. Fraktionsvorsitzender der SPD, Leitender Rechtsamtsdirektor) und Jürgen Sauerland-Freer (ehemaliger Leiter des Fachbereichs Kultur der Stadt Krefeld und Amtsvorgänger von Dr. Gabriele König). Dem Herausgeber und der Autorin hinzugeschaltet ist laut Impressum noch eine Redaktion, und die besteht aus Prof. Gerhard Hahn (einem in Krefeld ansässigen Ingenieur, Bildhauer und Designer), Dr. Gabriele König (Leiterin des Fachbereichs Kultur der Stadt Krefeld und Leiterin des Kulturbüros der Stadt Krefeld) und Burkhard Ostrowski (Mitarbeiter im Kulturbüro der Stadt Krefeld). Da steht also eine geballte kommunale Energie im Hintergrund. Daß hier der Lokal-Patriotismus und die kulturelle Begeisterung für sich selbst soweit gehen, daß die Musikgeschichte „gebeugt“ wird, um noch mehr öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit, sprich: Publicity, auf sich zu ziehen, ist nicht nur befremdlich, sondern auch verwerflich. Vor allem aber ganz und gar unnötig. Zwar leitet sich der Name „Bandoneon“ tatsächlich vom Familiennamen des Krefelders ab. Aber abgesehen davon, daß diese Instrumentenbezeichnung nicht von Band selbst stammte, sondern von Dritter Seite, ist Band nachweislich nie Instrumentenhersteller gewesen, sondern nicht mehr und nicht weniger als einer von mehreren Musikalienhändlern, die unterschiedliche Instrumente von verschiedenen Herstellern kauften und an ihre Kunden verkauften. Die einschlägige Musikfachwelt steht Kopf angesichts dieser brüskierenden Vermessenheit, zumal die Herausgeber und Kommunalpolitiker es nicht nur mit der falschen Darstellung in ihrem Buch belassen, sondern alle verfügbaren Register der Medienverwertung (Werbe-Videos, lancierte Zeitungsberichte, Internet-Artikel, Rundfunkbeiträge usw.) ziehen, um unverblümt und weithin ihre historische Tatsachenverdrängung zu betreiben. Es bleibt zu hoffen, daß dadurch nicht das eintritt, was gerade in der heutigen Gesellschaft weit verbreitet ist, nämlich daß Unwahrheit dann zur Wahrheit wird, wenn man sie nur laut und oft genug wiederholt. Nobert Seidel aus München ist als ausgewiesener Fachmann in Sachen Bandoneon-Forschung weithin bekannt und renommiert. In seinem folgenden Beitrag geht er auf den neuen Buchtitel ein, zeigt die fatale Fehleinschätzung der Autoren detailliert auf und versucht damit, der mit Vehemenz von ihnen betriebenen Geschichtsklitterung zu begegnen.

Alain Papineau's Windfall Donation to A World of Accordions Museum - USAby Diatonic News |
 |
| A World of Accordions Museum proudly announces receipt of Alain Papineau’s antique accordion collection consisting of 350 of the rarest and most beautiful instruments from the century after Cyril Demian’s first patent (1829). This donation, added to the 1,400 free-reed aerophones currently exhibited on the museum’s main floor and the 750 in reserve at Harrington ARTS Center, affirms the Superior, Wisconsin institution as the largest and most comprehensive in the world. About 70 of the new acquisitions are temporarily displayed in the “Special Exhibits” area of the concert hall, viewable by appointment. This spectacular windfall acquisition has a decades-long history. In a 1997 meeting, museum curator Helmi Strahl Harrington, Ph.D., met accordion enthusiast Alain Papineau (World Bank architect) and viewed his Washington D.C. collection. A quarter-century later, Papineau offered Harrington the gifts of his lifelong searches, most instruments of which are not described in organological references. Along with the accordions and concertinas were 90 boxes of music and supportive reference materials that will greatly supplement the museum’s books and recordings libraries. This is but the latest major contribution to the museum’s resources that also include numerous musicians’ estates. |

Donau Insel Fest - Wien/Österreichby Diatonic News |

| #dif21: Es gilt die heimischen Künstler*innen zu unterstützen! Österreich hat eine vielseitige Musikszene vorzuweisen, die sich auch am Donauinselfest 2021 wieder von all ihren individuellen Facetten zeigen wird. Zu den wichtigsten Eckpfeilern des Donauinselfests zählt seit jeher die Förderung der heimischen Kunst-, Kultur- und Veranstaltungsbranche. Angesichts der herausfordernden Zeiten gehörten schon im letzten Jahr die DIF-Bühnen alleine und zu 100 Prozent heimischen Kunst- und Kulturschaffenden – „und so ist es auch heuer“, betont Kurt Wimmer und fügt hinzu: „Die COVID-19 Pandemie hat die Kunstszene wirklich hart getroffen. Veranstaltungen sind jetzt die wichtigste Basis, um der Szene wieder Aufschwung zu verleihen und besonders jungen Nachwuchstalenten eine Möglichkeit zu geben, sich musikalisch vor Publikum zu entfalten. Das Donauinselfest erfüllt diese Aufgabe auch heuer wieder bravourös und fördert die heimischen Kunstschaffenden Bezugnehmend auf das geplante Setting des Festivalwochenendes betont Matthias Friedrich: „Dass man sehr gerne schon alle Rahmenbedingungen des Festivalwochenendes bekannt geben würde und bittet um Verständnis, dass es aus heutiger Sicht unseriös wäre mit einem fixen Setting rauszugehen und mit Besucher*innenzahlen zu jonglieren. Die aktuelle COVID-Situation ist für den Veranstalter bis zur tatsächlichen Veranstaltung im September noch zu schwierig zu beurteilen. In Absprache mit den Behörden, dem Sicherheitsteam und dem COVID-19-Beirat wird weiterhin an mehrere Varianten gearbeitet. Der spätestmögliche Zeitpunkt für uns zum Festlegen des Settings ist Anfang September. Sobald der Sack zugemacht ist, wird es publiziert! Bitte konsultieren Sie: https://donauinselfest.at/?nofade |

Tango Festival Trieste - Italyby Diatonic News |
 |
| Alreday the 2020 Edition of the Tango Festival Trieste was postponed to 2021. Unfortunately due to the actual Covid-Situation, also this year cannot happend. The next edition witll be in September 2022. They write: Due to the hard period connected with the health emergency COVID-19. We think it is better to be careful and wait for better times to organize this international event that brings people from all over the world every year in the city of Trieste. That way the true essence of tango, social and multicultural dance, can be expressed in the most natural and spontaneous way. We have been waiting as long as possible hoping that the health situation would allow us to confirm the event, but now we can’t wait any longer. We don’t want to postpone it and overlap with other tango events so we decided to cancel it. The decision was really painful, but we believe it is the most appropriate solution, and we will give our best to make the next edition even more engaging and exciting. ❤️ We thank you for the affection and patience shown, we will embrace you again next year for the VIII edition of the International Trieste Tango Festival 2022, of which we will communicate the dates as soon as possible. A big tango hug to everyone, Guillermo Berzins (Festival Director) info@triestetangofestival |

| INTOCABLE is one of the most influential groups in the Tejano/Norteño music scene today. Their road to success began twenty years ago in Zapata,Texas, when friends Ricky Muñoz and René Martínez dreamed of bringing their songs to the world as they crafted a unique and extraordinary style of music which expertly fuses Tejano conjunto music, Norteño folk rhythms, pop ballads and rock. After years of dedication and passion, the dream became an indisputable reality. With #1 hits such as “Robarte un Beso,” “Prometí,” “Te Amo (Para Siempre),” “Culpable Fui (Culpable Soy),” their latest “Tu Ausencia,” as well as fan favorites like “Dame Un Besito,” “Eres Mi Droga,” Enséñame a Olvidarte,” “Sueña,” “Contra Viento y Marea,” “Llueve,” “Arrepiéntete,” among others, INTOCABLE continues to entertain and delight audiences in both the United States and Mexico.
