  • Me playing my own transcription of Oscar Peterson's Version of "Perdido", recorded 1968 on his first (and greatest Solo Record). I actually transcribed (and am practising) the whole record. I will tape all pieces over the next months. By then I hope to figure out how to get better audio and video quality.
    This first attempt is to celebrate Oscar's upcoming 82nd birthday - Long live the chief

    I learn so much from transcribing that I don't consider it a burden. When I want to put a piece onto paper, I set a daily goal, sometimes 8, sometimes 16 bars. I try to do it every day to be able to stay "inside" the piece. It gets easier after some time

    Excellent transcription!!!! I've loved that track since the first time I heard it. Great to hear someone with both the ears and the chops to do transcription and performance!!!! I started transcribing it once and got to the first measure and .... Now I'm listening to you!

    Beautiful! I've never heard anyone play an Oscar transcription any better!

    Superb!
    Let me tell you: there are those who criticize musicians who transcribe and play note-to-note, and they say that it's not original and all that nonsense...
    It's very simple: they can't do it, so they look down on it.

    Hey Mollegiante,Thanks for watching my OP.Let me return the Compliment,Great work.I agree with you there is muuch to learn in transcribing others work.OP,Tatum and many others in jazz piano are as worthy of "rote" study as any 20th century composer of classical piano music.

    In my humble opinion, one of the all time great piano performances on RUclips, up there with Horowitz, Pollini, Tatum, Monk et al, (just wished that stride bit could've gone on longer!) Pure genius.Thanks a million!

    I was thinking as this buffered; surely his can't be the one from 'Exclusively for My Friends'?'
    He'd have to an absolute genious to be able to play that, I thought!
    Unbelivable - totally incredible and stunningly brilliant! Well done! Now, tell me you didn't transcribe that by ear? Did you?

    Probably one of the Hardest classic ever to play, as Oscar's version...
    Hey Man, You nailed it! Great sound, as close as Peterson' s. The master had for sure a incredible way of playin' dynamics, but I wonder if you'd played on a Grand Action...you'd be advantaged too.

  • @mollegiante

    thanks - I can't put the transcription out there because that would break copyright restrictions.

  • @mollegiante
    @mollegiante  16 лет назад

    Thank you - there is already a japanese transcription on the market. But the pay-off of the work was the eartraining anyway.

  • @spassgamer
    @spassgamer 16 лет назад

    great finger technique! and seemingly also good ears^^. I can`t believe you have learned all this by heart...if i were you I would sell the transcribed notes in order to get a little sallery for all the time youve invested to copy that

  • @spassgamer
    @spassgamer 17 лет назад

    omg, did you really want to transcribe this one? It must have been so hard, and timetaking. Many hours work, a great result, hopefully you learned enough from transcribing :D

  • @mollegiante
    @mollegiante  16 лет назад

    thanks - I am sure there quite some people around who play OP's stuff better than me - I am a short guy with rather small hands and have to leave out quite a few of his left hand tens, for example in the stride part. This is my own transcription btw - I actually transcribed every single tune from "my favorite instrument" - unaware that there is a transcription floating around in Japan - But I still would have done it on my own - great ear training ...

  • @mollegiante
    @mollegiante  16 лет назад

    Thanks, Tim - but to be honest, I did not learn this by ear, I transcribed it and then learnt the written music (still of course checking the recording for phrasing and sound)

    • @mollegiante

    Yes, I did it, unaware that there was a transcription floating around in japan, but happy anyway for the learning experience.
