	The Accompanist: the Unsung Hero?
		The accompanist must strive to achieve a legato sound that will resemble as much as possible the human voice or a string instrument, while recognizing that, since the piano is a percussion instrument, the result will never be totally satisfactory.
		One of the great challenges that awaits the accompanist is that of maintaining balance between the voice or instrument and the piano.
		The modulations and the accidentals have to be adapted from one key to another and often a motif that falls especially well under the fingers in the original key (let's not forget that most composers were pianists) becomes unpractical and daring to play in a different key.

		The relationship with your accompanist is the most important that you will develop throughout the audition process.
		Whether your accompanist is a stranger whom you've never rehearsed with before or your best friend whom you've brought to your audition, treat them like gold to ensure a good audition and good auditions in the future.
		DO request to give the accompanist your music as soon as you walk in the room, so they have a moment to look at it before you begin.

	Accompaniment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most tonal music the melody and accompaniment are written from and share the same group of pitches, while in much atonal music the melody and accompaniment are chosen from entirely separate groups of pitches, often from different hexachords.
		A number of classical pianists have become famous as accompanists rather than soloists; the best known example is probably Gerald Moore, well known as a Lieder accompanist.
		Notated accompaniment may be indicated obbligato (obliged) or ad libitum (at one's pleasure).

		A good accompanist will strive to better a performance or worship service by offering their own musical expertise, while at the same time being flexible enough to adjust their personal opinion to another musician’s ideas.
		Of course the goal should not be to create an environment in which no other accompanist can succeed, but rather it should prove the importance of their consistent role within the worship setting.
		As important as this is, an accompanist must also be willing to accept the advice of other musicians, learning from their ideas and suggestions.

		I knew the accompanist was going to change the key of the song during at the beginning of the 4th verse and then return to the key as written for the 5th and final verse.
		After completing the 3rd verse, the accompanist played a short interlude where the key of the song was changed.
		After the 4th verse was completed, the accompanist again played a short interlude that enabled her to switch keys back to the original key of the song.

	Vocalist - Role of the Accompanist
		Accompanist is the word used to describe an individual who supports a singer, choir or an instrumentalist, by playing a subsiduary part.
		There are many types of accompanist, which include musicians and teachers to backing vocalists.
		A singing teacher who plays the piano for their pupil whilst they are vocalising is providing 'accompaniment' just as a band or full orchestra do, when they and a singer perform a song.

	An encounter with accompanist Wolfram Rieger, by Tess Crebbin
		The profession of accompanist is a lot more involved than playing the piano while someone else is singing Lieder.
		It is probably one of the most difficult musical arts because it requires so many skills, beyond being a good pianist, united in the same musician: the ability to be a team player, to plan a concert program, a profound understanding of singing preferably through professional voice training, and so the list goes on.
		Since she was without permanent accompanist in her class at the time -- someone had just moved to another city -- she asked whether I'd be interested.

	Aglet by Jim Service: New Rehearsal Accompanist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Our usual accompanist is far too busy now with several choirs and other music projects of his own.
		With an accompanist, I believe our director can help the choir "lift the notes off the page" in a much shorter time than if he has to accompany or "note pound" the parts as well as direct.
		I am especially interested to know since I found out that the former accompanist and present chorus mmaster of the Thunder Bay Symphony Chorus just spent 4 months "down east" (that would be Southern Ontario to folks in Northwestern Ontario) studying technique under instruction from a choir director in Stratford.

	Accompanying a Singer - Creative Keyboard, February 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Mentally, we have to fully assume the role of an accompanist, not a soloist.
		Some singers want the accompanist to strictly follow their phrasing, which requires you to hear the singer first.
		Sometimes it is also helpful if the accompanist emphasizes the starting pitch, but make it a part of the set-up so it doesn’t become too obvious to the audience.

	‘The Accompanist’ (PG)
		Irene, who recognizes Sophie's musical abilities and sees in her a kindred, hang-tough spirit, adopts Sophie as a live-in servant, accompanist and musical consultant.
		Sophie, who instinctively slips bread rolls into her purse at banquets, and who is entranced with Irene, is only too happy to have this job.
		As she stares dolefully from behind her piano at the singer she considers superior to everything, including herself, it's crystal clear to us who's really stealing the show.

	Controversy Over the Role of the Piano Accompanist - Free2Create
		I certainly identified with her perturbation, having spent many years as an accompanist, a term I grew to dislike as it only seemed to encourage a lack of regard from audience and sometimes fellow performers.
		In "Am I too soft?" the renowned accompanist Roger Vignoles describes an even more outrageous occasion when he and a well-known singer gave a concert at a major international arts festival which won an award as the most outstanding concert of the festival.
		I recall a band I was part of about 10 years ago; as a collection of musicians, each person was a virtuoso in his field and on his instrument.

	The Accordionist as Accompanist by Henry Doktorski
		The accompanist must always remember that his job is to support, not supplant the soloist.
		This is not to say that the accompanist must play a subservient role.
		For example, in Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano, the violin plays the starring role, but the piano, in addition to serving as an accompanist, also acts as an equal partner and contributes integral thematic musical substance to the piece.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: The Accompanist \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Despite a complex central performance by Romane Bohringer, "The Accompanist" remains a stolid, uninvolving melodrama that goes nowhere.
		Bohringer plays the central character, Sophie, a 20-year-old pianist who is one of the starving peasants populating the streets of Paris during the Occupation of World War II.
		To escape her impoverished life, she auditions for an up-and-coming classical songstress named Irene (Elena Safonova), who is looking for an accompanist.

	accompanist
		Just because you can play the piano does not mean you are automatically a good accompanist.
		Therefore, being an accompanist is not an also-ran to being a piano soloist.
		Normally, the soloist extends his/her arm, palm outwards, to "indicate" the accompanist, upon which signal the accompanist rises, steps away from the piano, and bows.
