Petersburg Sleigh Ride ...

Postby MichaelW » 14 Dec 2016 09:18

... played on a Roland V-Akkordeon and my Tyros 5.

Hello Xmas listeners and posters,

Oh yes, I have a new toy and I'm so happy with it. This akkordeon is somehow a "back to the roots" for me, because I began to learn and to play akkordeon 50 years ago. Hope you like my Petersburg Sleigh Ride, though you don't see me playing on my Tyros 5. I played and recorded the playback on my Tyros 5 immediately. Subsequently I transferred the playback file to the V-accordion and played Melody, Bass and Accords on the V-accordion together with the Playback.

The Composer was Richard Eilenberg in 1885/86. Eilenberg composed marches and dances for orchestra, harmony and military music, and a ballet The Rose of Shiras, op. 134. He also composed the operettas Comteß Cliquot (1909), King Midas, Marietta, and The Great Prince. The most notable music that he composed were his marches, including The Coronation March (for Alexander III of Russia), and Janitscharen-Marsch, op. 295.

Some of his music pieces, attributable to the salon and its entertainment, were The Petersburg Sleigh Ride op. 52 and The Mill In The Black Forest, op. 57 (1885).Eilenberg completed 350 compositions throughout his life.

Best regards - Michael
