by Bibs Ekkel
The balalaika is most often associated with Russian folklore. In this
comprehensive method book, concert and recording artist Bibs Ekkel
shares his extensive knowledge of the balalaika as taught in Russia
today. This 182-page book is divided into four sections: an extensive
Foreword, the Tutor, A Brief History of the Balalaika, and a Repertoire
Section. The Complete Balalaika Book does not begin with the
rudiments of music notation. Rather, the 20-page Foreword offers
insights on the tunings of all the instruments in the balalaika family,
hand positions, string sources and height adjustment, and chord shapes.
The author even describes how to make a bass balalaika pick from shoe
leather. The Tutor or instruction segment is written for the 'prima
balalaika' which is correctly played with the fingers only rather than
with a pick. The Tutor jumps right in with exercises and tunes in
quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-note values with occasional dotted notes
and syncopation. Perhaps half of the music in this section is shown in
both standard notation and tablature. A glossary of musical signs and
Russian musical terms is included. A Brief History of the Balalaika is
well written and nicely illustrated. The Repertoire Section offers a
valuable resource of Eastern European folk tunes. All but two selections
in this section are written in both notation and tab with suggested
guitar chords, the exceptions being an arrangement for balalaika and
piano, and a balalaika orchestra score. More than simple melody chord
lead sheets, these are the author's own arrangements of tunes for solo
balalaika and balalaika orchestra.
