Varyag??

Is this the one CHINA buy from Ukraine and TRY TO make aircrafts carrier which is scare those little country in South East Asia like Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia.....

- Give China some credits if they can scare little countries. But not to the Western world, mainly just a COPY CAT and now Soviet Union gone with the wind and even Russia sell anythings to copy cat CHINA they must watchout...

- Worst things are USA make a big deal with that Varyag model 1904 kkkk

@CharlieDoan

Is this dealing about Varyag only ?

Is there something wrong with description (text, history-facts) in my clip ?

This is not a politics-thread and not intended to be. Pictures are just referring to the past - this is when this song was written and what the theme of this song is about. I'd like people to talk abut the song, my playing, the clip as a whole (in total - not only excerpts) - but not about war, politics or just parts of this. Thanks a lot..

@CharlieDoan

I don't know something about Varyag (the old one in this clip) and the modern Aircraft-Carrier Varyag. Do you have any links/facts to prove a relationship between both ? Is there any ralationship at all (beside the same name) ? Do you want me to add this information (in case you have some) to my clip ?

[KirStefan]

I'll be very grateful, if being given a copy of a music sheet.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you very much Andrzej - and greetings for you as well.

[AIJohnsen]

Very beautifully done. You are an excellent accordonist. I have added your rendition of "The Hiils of Manchuria" to my Russian Playlist, and I have also subscribed to your channel. Andy

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks for your very nice comment, Andy.

Have a nice Xmas.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

... and I hope people like my channel too, because I wanted to create some special playlists. I like music in general, history, diversity and sound of all kind of instruments and songs.

So, please enjoy my playlists too !

[sirosirmakka]

Beautiful.....Thank you.

[1950nefertiti]

Прекрасно играет и даже русскую музыку спасибо друг!!!!!! 100 баллов

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Aber natürlich russische Musik - ein Muss - ganz ohne Frage. Neben Klezmer, Zigeunermusik und keltischer Folklore (irisch, bretonisch, schottisch) ist die russische Folklore ein wirklich emotionales Genre. Daher kommt man als Akkordeon Spieler auch nicht daran vorbei.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Но, конечно же, русскую музыку - обязательно - без вопросов. В дополнение к клезмер, цыганская музыка и фольклор "Селтик" (ирландский, бретонский, шотландский) Русский фольклор является поистине эмоциональным жанра. Таким образом, мы, как баянист не приходит мимо.

One correction - Retvizan was not Japanese. This was Russian ironclad sank in Port-Arthur harbour

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you for your hint. I took this from Wikipedia:

She was present at the Battle of Port Arthur where she was torpedoed by Japanese destroyers and grounded, five men were killed. She was repaired and took part in the Battle of the Yellow Sea, where she was hit by 18 shells and suffered 6 dead and 43 wounded. She was subsequently trapped in Port Arthur and sunk at her moorings by numerous howitzer shells on 6 December 1904, during the Siege of Port Arthur.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Retvizan was raised by the Japanese and repaired at Sasebo between 1906 and 1908. Renamed Hizen, she served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I, in which she took part in the hunt for the cruiser squadron of Maximilian von Spee and in the Japanese intervention in the Russian Civil War. She was retired as a result of the Washington Naval Treaty in 1923 and sunk as a target ship in the Bungo straits on 12 July 1924.

A very interesting history of a battleship !

[corporalkills]

This is awesome! I love the Russian style,it sounds so......(insert positive adjective here) If by some reason you ever put out a CD I would buy it! even itunes. Danke for posting Herr Vieenrose!

[mattis09]

sehr schöne, korrekte Darbietung.

Die Dynamik ist dir auch sehr gut gelungen.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

yeah, you name it. I couldn't leave my fingers off the accordion when I heard it the very first time here on YT. My fingers and brains just forced me to play this. ;-)

[lichiarenz]

I appreciate so much this melodic waltz.

A great playing full of wonderful expression.

Very enjoyable tune!

Interesting images!

Congratulations!

[accordionmusic]

very nice. I like the middle part a lot.

Andrew

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks my friend...

I really was in doubt to play it even faster - but most interpretations I heard so far were playing quite slow, many of them slower than mine...

but speed is always something one can play with.

[gairin]

I absolutely LOVE your beautiful playing that is full of verve and musicality! I am now a fan! Thanks for creating all the interesting videos... I will view them all now! -- Mary Kay

Ein wunderschönes Video Wolfgang! Gratuliere! Der Stück gefällt mir sowieso, richtig melodisch.. Bravo! 5*****

Paolo

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Ich danke Dir Paolo.

Als ich das Stück zum erstenmal hörte, wusste ich sofort, dass ich nicht umhin komme es zu spielen. Ich denke man sieht (und hört) auch, weshalb... ;-)

[AccordionLadyMi]

I had to favorite this video. The music is so beautiful and well played. I like the addition of the slides. This is just excellent! Fran

[scheepsjoagers]

beautivul! thanks Fran

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Fran, I have to repeat myself because this so important to me and it describes my inner feelings about playing accordion and "quality" connected with "emotions" concerning playing accordion (always remember - we are NOT professional, but amateurs instead):

[cdurartist]

Bin restlos begeistert, Wolfgang.

Erstklassige Arbeit, super gespielt und die Mühe mit den Fotos und Hintergrundinfos sind beispiellos.

Wirklich toll gemacht.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Vielen Dank Jürgen, ich weiß solche Kommentare sehr zu schätzen.

Wie bereits geschrieben war auch eine längere Übungszeit nötig, bis ich das so flüssig hinbekam, zumal ich derzeit an mehreren Projekten arbeite (u.a. auch intensiv an Standardwerken der Kirchenmusik). Einige kleinere Stellen sind nicht ganz perfekt gespielt... aber man muss es ja auch nicht übertreiben. Ich hatte sogar fast schon eine zweite Stimme fertig - die gefiel mir aber dann nicht zusammen mit der Erststimme.

[salgariUA]

Beautiful video and playing.

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thank you.

Playing is not as easy as it sounds... it took quite a while to play it like that because it is one of the difficult waltzes (many fast changing chords and multivoiced - often in conjunction with legato). But I am confident the result was worth the time that I spend on it. I like it very much too.

[Kievest]

Thank you for your beautiful playing of

one of my favorite Russian waltzes!!!

Wonderful historic video!!! Bravo!

[LibertangoVieenrose]

Thanks a lot !

... and I agree completely: one of my favorite waltzes as well !
