Only
two weeks left:
the #harmonica_of_the_month_10:
SESSION
STEEL - DiMiNiShEd LF# ...play chromatically in
12 keys on a single instrument!
Diminished
is actually the name of a chord and a scale. For example
the diminished chord in C contains the notes: C, Eb, Gb
(and A). The scale contains C, D, Eb, F, Gb, Ab, A and
B.
The
Diminished-Tuning for diatonic harmonicas has the
same symmetrical order of notes. This
layout makes it possible to reach all chromatic notes
with simple semi-tone draw bendings alone - not too
difficult to learn!
Concert
with the master of the diatonic harmonica in Klingenthal/Germany
Harmonica
virtuoso HOWARD
LEVY is the true master of chromatic
playing on the diatonic harmonica - his playing
technique is like from outer space.
LEVY
and the exceptional organ player MATTHIAS
GRÜNERT (lecturer for organ and church
music in Dresden/Germany) are on common musical
ways developing an unique mixture of Classical,
Jazz, Traditional and modern music!
This
concert will be absolutely unique and absolutely
worth listening!
