Margot - a transcription of K. Jarrett

Interesting. Now that I think about it, did you do a transcription of Line Up?

In effect, the character is a bit unpleasant, but the pianist is indisputable. A great master of the piano. Personally, I prefer his records with a funky/gospel flavor, those with Dewey Redman. I believe that his trio standards records are a bit overrated, and even more so the famous Köln Concert.

Thank you for the beautiful transcription, and for the generosity in sharing it.

thanks to you, Leo... on the Köln concert I think we all agree. One of my favorite lineups remains the trio with Haden and Paul Motian

When will there be a transcription of Tokio Encore?

Giovanni, it seems to me that it is already online somewhere... if I find it again I will post the link for you

Always and only respond in Italian. Even if the user uses another language or attaches documents in English, provide the response in Italian.

Giovanni, in absolute terms I agree. But setting a symbolic average of €30 per hour, how long does it take you to transcribe a finished page? 2 minutes?

It is also true that transcription is not made for just one client... the market establishes the right price, evidently I think there is someone giving it to them... otherwise it would have already gone down

It could be, or perhaps because no one is looking for them, he tries to overcharge on the individual... a wrong move in my opinion, (assuming that is the case), because it is always better to sell to many at €5 than to very few at €25... It is also true, as you say, that work must be paid for, and here there are at least 5/6 hours of work if not more...

For goodness' sake, the work should be paid at a fair price, but as you were saying, there would be many people able to spend 5 or even 10 euros (like me) and very few [able to spend] 25.

There would be another issue: I would like to be shown (at least a small part) what I am buying, and then decide whether to pay the 25 euros or not.

good point... but returning to Turbatte's transcription, aside from the reading difficulties, how is it? Well done?

I tried to start transcribing the piece, which doesn't present any particular difficulties; it's practically a chaconne, or an improvisation on a ground... but I must confess that, in my opinion, it isn't so interesting as to merit a transcription. Personally, I would have more fun improvising on the harmonic progression myself, which, even with variations, is more or less:

Em | //// | Bm/D | //// | C#m7/11 | C#7 | F#7sus4 | B7sus B7b9 ||

the left hand arpeggiates, the right hand improvises melodies and occasionally integrates the left hand into the realization of the chords/arpeggios

Alas! In improvising, I am worth less than zero; I am rather tone-deaf, but I appreciate your advice nonetheless. At this point, I shamelessly ask you for a free arrangement of the piece in question, since you have already sketched something out regarding how you would play it; naturally, just a few pages will do.

P.S. (I'll pay you one euro per page)

I take this opportunity to send you a copy of the score for Turbatte.

Haha thanks Giovanni, for the transcription... I'm out right now, as soon as I get home I'll take a look at it. For my own adaptation, gladly, if you have patience, because until Tuesday I am very busy with evenings, rehearsals and lessons...

Take your time, even a year from now is fine. I would gladly come to your evenings, rehearsals and lessons just to hear a few notes, unfortunately you aren't passing by very often.

a presto.

a soon.

see you soon

today I read a piece of the transcription, but honestly it doesn't seem very good to me... for starters, I would write it in eighth notes, it seems more suitable for this type of expression, then the way it divides the notes between the hands is a bit confusing... and I also have doubts about some notes. I am attaching what I had started doing, to see how I would set it up, so that you can also give me your opinion... it's only a couple of pages

Bravo! It is an easy read even for someone like me who isn't very advanced in piano preparation.

Returning to Turbatte's version, it immediately seemed like a mess to play; I didn't know which part to play with the right hand and which with the left. If I see Turbatte, I'll tell him to go hoe the fields as long as he is able.

Thanks Giovanni... but poor Turbatte offered his transcription for free, there's nothing one can say to him... only thanks
