THE BANDONEON: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR COMPOSERS

Bol

As a bandoneon player and composer, I am motivated to create this work in order to encourage the creation of both arrangements and original works of music for bandoneon, both as a solo instrument and as part of chamber music. It's important to note that although there have been contributions referring to the use of the bandoneon as part of the typical tango orchestra, these are specific to a particular instrumentation and musical genre. Despite being an important instrument in tango music, the bandoneon is not a part of the common orchestral practice. This means that composers and orchestrators are often faced with limitations due to the lack of systematized information about the bandoneon's organology and its combination with other instruments for orchestral use. This lack of information has resulted in a poor and limited production of music for the bandoneon, which is a risk to the present and future of the instrument. In this work, we will deal with the bandoneon's acoustic, organological, and idiomatic notation, as well as its acoustic response in different combinations and situations within chamber music.
