Here is another of my transcriptions from Oscar's 1968 Solo Piano Album, a wonderful version of Johnny Greens "Body and Soul"

  • Hey man, very nice work!

    I've always wanted to transcribe a solo piano piece but it is quite a daunting task. Do you write down the notes, and if so, how do you write down the more freely played passages?

    That would really help me! Thanks in advance.

  • @MonkeyMaarten Hey, thanks!

    I write the free parts like cadenza bars, they look like a liszt work, for example the hungarian rhapsodies.

  • OUtstanding!!! I love how you rocked that Classic Oscar Peterson ron at 59 second mark.  WELL Done man!!!!

  • @phanjazm

    Thanks! i glad you like it!

  • To transcribe an arrangement like that clearly is a skill in its own right. You must have exceptional listening skills. I assume that you transcribed it. If you didn't and you read someones elses transcription work then great reading skills. Some very clever work allround. I enjoyed it. Great stuff!!

  • @themusicbuff

    transcribing saves practising time. You have the piece already in your heart and mind and get it quickly in your fingers.

  • Very well done !

  • damn, that's beautiful

  • You play divinely well.

    You heared everything in the Piece. VERY great work of transcribing.

    You also not even missed one single note.

    You have a very nice touching, It's really, really great.

    I've got the same sport as you. But I am ashamed of showing it : you know what it is : impro, impro...

    I play the album : Mellow Mood.

    And I love it.

    I've recorded the whole trio in Cubase and sometimes I dream of being a genius.

    What is your Piano ? It is really great also.

  • That's really cool! How long have you been playing jazz?

  • Admirable playing. I agree, I don't usually like transcriptions, but this was like Horowitz performing Chopin, it definitely added something to the music and as a version of the song.

  • Awesome.

  • Incredible. 

  • Really great. Very nice technique and feel. Well done. I'm not usually impressed with people's transcriptions, but this one I was moved by. Thanks!
