Performing peculiarities of interpretation of V. Podgorny’s works for button accordion (based on the Fantasia on the theme of the Ukrainian folk song “Poviy, vitre, na Vkrayinu”)

Abstract

V. Podgorny made a great contribution to the development of the national button accordion art of the second half of the twentieth century. The composer managed to create highly artistic works that reflect the dramatic content and characterize the author’s symphonic thinking. The article reveals the peculiarities of the performer’s interpretation of works for button accordion by V. Podgorny on the example of Fantasia on the theme of the Ukrainian folk song “Poviy, vitre, na Vkrayinu”. For this purpose, for the first time, two performance versions by two famous performers are analyzed: a version by O. Nazarenko, and a version by F. Lips. The conclusions emphasize that the interpretation of V. Podgorny’s works requires accurate knowledge of the text, correct nuances, a good command of strokes; skillful pedalization and sound production, vocalization of melody when conveying the image.
