Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the review and systematization of the most common fur playing techniques, common in modern button accordions art. We consider the specifics of their execution, are examples of art embodiment of these techniques on samples of music. Proposed classification fur bellows techniques in accordance with the basic types and varieties. Bellows shake – taking game using periodic changes bellows on one sound or tune that runs multi-directional movements bellows in a slow, moderate or fast pace. Traditionally, the reception bellows tremolo is performed by the movement of the left half a length, i.e. the left hand. Although in recent years increasingly using technology tremolando and right hand. This technique is offered in the episodes with long-term bellows tremolo for the purpose of reasonable distribution of muscular work required for its execution, between both hands. Rarely used execution even start groups on compression bellows (so-called reverse tremolo). In turn, the game three share (training) structures by conventional tremolo provides for the execution of the first share of each group in turn in different directions of movement of the bellows, i.e. resonate compress. The conventional tremolo bellows has gained the most widespread application as the original bayan left in the modern practice of composition and genre of arrangements and transcriptions for accordion instrumental and orchestral music. Conventional bellows shake – perform sequential multi-directional movement of the bellows hold with fingers pressed keys. Thus, the beginning sound of the two paired groups will always be in open bellows. Combined bellows shake deducts fingers on the keys only in the middle of the group and removing them only at the moment of switching, movement bellows at first the fate of each new group is in the direction of the last fate of the previous group. That is, it combines the versatility of movement bellows with unidirectionality. Asymmetric normal bellows shake – performing groups with heterogeneous metric (dicots and triple) by taking regular bellows shake. In this case, the multi-directional alternating movement bellows coincides with the accent beats asymmetrical metric groups. Asymmetric combined bellows shake – fulfillment by way of a combined shake chain groups with heterogeneous metric. Synthesized bellows shake is a combination of tremoulinas movement of the elements of normal and combined bellows shake. Arrhythmic or wlnerable bellows shake – performance reception howoge bellows shake sound of the cascade without regular metrorhythmical organization. Most often it is free expedited and free slow motion, undulating aleatoric build. Bellows flams – performance short forslag (mostly chord textures) receiving bellows shake. Ricochet sound effect arising from bellows shake furs and light strikes one part of the bellows on the right semi-casing accordions, thus a characteristic sound attack. From the French word ricochet means "bounce". In this case, actually the rebound (directly rebound) becomes small, independent movement of the lower part of the left half a length in compression immediately after a light blow its top in the upper part of the right half a length in conditions of slightly diluted bellows. It is this movement of the lower half a length and produces one extra sound attack on the already pressed. Duplicate ricochet is a fragment of the main ricochet, which uses only ricocheting part, i.e. the impact of the upper part of the left semi-casing (bellows close) and then move lower. Three-brained ricochet is the most common and not difficult in terms of performance development, exists in two versions: direct and inverse. Direct three-brained ricochet begins to bellows open (first fraction), then the bellows close in the second and third fraction (kick-rebound). Reverse the three-brained ricochet, on the contrary, begins to bellows close, then there is a bump-rebound correspond to the first and second fraction, and the third sounds through further bellows open. Quadruple ricochet is also a widespread bellows performing. Its implementation technology reflects the execution method of ricochet on the basis of direct Three-brained rebound with the mandatory withdrawal of the fingers from the keys between the fourth and first stakes in each link. Atically and continuous ricochets include in their performance technique broader involvement of all resource of instrument, namely active alternate work almost all four corners of bellows of accordions. So, a wide variety of original techniques bellows that are used in performing and composing spheres bayan creativity, is a bright and colorful timbre is sonorous complex that its distinctive sound greatly enriches the system of expressive means of modern bayan music broadcasting.
