The accordion was just considered as a popular music instrument for many years and only recently it has got a -cultured- instrument, thanks to the institution in the Conservatory.

The book is composed by 9 chapter and 240 pages and it's divided into three parts. The first one deals with the basic technique, by some articulation exercises on scales, arpeggios, finger independence, the thumb passage. The second section is about several topics in the functional harmony using the seventh chords in all theirs positions, the practice of II-V-I cadence, voicings, modes, peculiar scales. The last section consists of creative application to the learnt technical and theoretical knowledge, making the right performance and improvisation on standard jazz and blues.

An in-depth study of the Bulgarian harmonic system is long overdue. More than two decades since the Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares choir was awarded a Grammy (1990), there is no scholarly study of the captivating sounds of Bulgarian vertical sonorities. Kalin Kirilov traces the gradual formation of a unique harmonic system that developed in three styles of Bulgarian music: village music from the 1930s to the 1990s, wedding music from the 1970s to 2000, and choral arrangements (obrabotki) - creations of the socialist period (1944-1989), popularized by Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. Kirilov classifies the different approaches to harmony and situates them in their historical and cultural contexts, establishing new systems for analysis. In the process, he introduces a new system for the categorization of scales. Kirilov argues that the ready-made concepts that are frequently forced onto Bulgarian music - ‘westernization’, ‘socialist’ or ‘Middle Eastern influence’, are not only outdated but also too vague to be of use in understanding the sophisticated modal and harmonic systems found in Bulgarian music. As an insider who has performed, composed and arranged this music for 30 years, Kirilov is uniquely qualified to interpret it for an international audience.
