In the history of world accordion art,Viacheslav Semenov is an outstanding performer,talented composer and outstanding educator.He has achieved the same success in these three different fields.He is one of only three musicians who have won the title of "People's Artist" in the Russian accordion session,and is an inexhaustible driving force for the development of the accordion."Rhapsody on the Don" is one of the representative works of Semenov's accordion works.It depicts the sufferings of the Cossacks in the Don region during the First World War,the February Revolution,the October Revolution,and the Civil War.The whole work fully embodies the courageous,fearless,longing for freedom,and courageous nationalist spirit of the Cossacks "Rhapsody on the Don" is rich in musical content and performance skills.It has been selected as a must-play repertoire in many internationally renowned accordion competitions,and it is also a favorite repertoire of many accordionists in concerts.The author will analyze and explore the works from the introduction and three chapters.The introduction mainly introduces the significance of the topic selection of the thesis and the current research status and research methods at home and abroad.The first chapter introduces Semenov,his main achievements and the creative background of his work,which lays the foundation for us to understand this work.The second chapter starts with the melody,rhythm,tonality,and harmony of the work,and makes a comprehensive analysis of the three movements of "Rhapsody on the Don".Through the analysis of musical form,we can understand the author's creative intention,understand the change of the color and emotion of the work,and better combine with the performance,so as to better express.Chapter Three analyzes the performance of "Don Rhapsody".From the perspective of the use of the bellows,the use of the voice changer,the commonly used decorative sound and wheel finger playing skills of the right hand,and the perception of the performance of the work and the performance method of the left hand,I hope to contribute a little to the majority of accordion colleagues in the performance of this work.Power.
