Blackbird - Hiromi Uehara ( Piano Transcription )

[@zesta77]

Very cool. Probably should be written in the key of G with F# in the signature, which would avoid many of the # accidentals having to be written in.

[@CorneliusTsen]

You're right. I was aware it's in G. However importing to the master score I totally forgot to change the key! smh

[@adamczerski2094]

@@CorneliusTsen Is it possible you could change it to G? I'm thinking about "patreoning" ;) ;) ;)

An absolute genius. Transparent, minimalistic, yearning, especially beginning. I feel so much past pain and current hope and love in every note.

[@tedl7538]

Pretty much the most delicate, restrained, thoughtful, and yet dynamic, interesting and beautiful playing I've ever heard Hiromi do. Great transcription too!

[@franktaylor7978]

I got to see her once at Yoshi's in Oakland. she showed she was very soulful and and capable of playing very restrained and delicately. she improvised a little 5 note thing that still gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. was so simple like something a child would do but so beautifully done. I remember that night walking out just thinking it was the best jazz I had ever heard. she blew me away completely.

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Wow....she is so talented. Never heard this but I could see her smiling face and those phenomenal hands as she interpreted one of the most beautiful of Paul’s gems

[@ltravail]

Every time I hear this woman play I am reminded of the legendary virtuoso Art Tatum. His style of voicings, runs and scales, his nuanced rhythmic patterns, and imaginative blending of classical, jazz, and popular motifs are all on full display when she works...plus she has technique as formidable as Tatum's. I heard her do a version of Tatum's famous finger breaker "Tiger Rag" once. She was almost him! Her worldwide celebrity among music fans is unquestionably well-deserved.

[@milon5378]

She s really special , I saw her 4 times and … I cannot explain my feeling about her art …

[@ltravail]

@@milon5378 I was never fortunate enough to catch one of her performances, but it is on my bucket list next time she tours the US.

Woah, so well done! Hiromi is my favorite pianist, great to see more transcriptions of her work :)

[@milon5378]

My favorite pianist also !!! I saw her 4 times , it was magic , she s magician of piano !

[@petermueller444]

What a fantastic transcription ! Thank you Cornelius ! Hiromi plays this song in a sort of Keith Jarrett style.

[@monsieurwb8499]

Sie ist eine der besten Jazzpianistinnen, die es derzeit gibt. Möglicherweise ist sie sogar die beste. Was für ein Talent...

[@wurstfinger3289]

ich wüsste nich, wie man besser spielen könnte. das frage ich mich seit über 10 jahren.

[@Troubleshooter125]

Blackbird, in my humble opinion, is very likely THE BEST SONG Paul McCartney ever wrote ... and this rendering does it proud. _Molte grazie._

[@patriciodasilva7902]

I like "In my life"

[@skierpage]

@@patriciodasilva7902 Lennon wrote the lyrics and sang "In My Life." They remember the music differently, from Wikipedia: Referring to McCartney, Lennon said "his contribution melodically was the harmony and the middle-eight itself." Blackbird is a great jazz standard. I prefer Brad Mehldau's interpretation to Hiromi's lovely version, he plays more with the rhythm and makes the "Into the light of a dark black night" section explode.

Brilliant transcription of Hiromi's unique version of the most elegant song ever written by the Beatles. Way to go, Cornelius.

[@milon5378]

I confirm ! Young I loved The Beatles but now I prefer Hiromi s version , so incredible and touchy !

[@heartofhawaii8232]

woah! just happened on this on the heels of listening to Jon Batiste..and never thought i would hear anyone who could come close to playing it the way he did..until now. thank you Hiromi and Corneilius..for sharing this.

[@joachimjaeger8871]

Good point, I started with a transcription of Bob Patin, then saw the very nice one of Jonny May and then was impressed by the cool intepretation of Jon Batiste- then I discovered this transcription and the incredible performance of Hiromi- I love quite all of the different interpretations of this song but the coolest and most "jazzy" version is for sure this one of Hiromi. The exact transcription of Cornelius increases the joy but liscening and reading the notes- wow, this is the one!!!

[@robertbairdmusic]

Beautiful. Technically demanding, but true to the tune in the most original way. Love this

[@bobwrotenstien315]

The Beatles song where the harmony out melodies the melody. Feels so good.

[@kadeandkeys8861]

Absolutely love listening and playing this. I got your transcription of this and it just blows my mind how Hiromi could create this, how you could transcribe this, and how I'm actually learning to play it. Thanks!

[@melissabelaidi1834]

sounds like magic to my ears

[@simonlawrie9215]

Mélissa Belaidi . I agree , I just want to ( if I could ) pour this into my ears then plug them up and keep it to myself .❤️ .

[@pernielsen7449]

Beautiful as hell. Should have probably been written in the key of, JUST THE WAY IT IS.. Feel sorry for 7.3 billion people in the world that is unaware of this masterpiece of a masterpiec. Thank you Hiromi, for beeing and for gifting us with this....

Geez... I'm impressed that people actually can correctly write stuff like this just by listen to a record.

[@victoza9232]

Music software like Sibelius will transcribe whatever you play on the keyboard.

[@patriciodasilva7902]

I'm pretty sure she's playing an acoustic piano on this recording which means the transcriber is working off an audio recording. But I could be wrong

[@Cheese_Meister]

If you take an Aural Theory course half of the classwork is hearing a recording and transcribing.

@@Cheese_Meister cool, but here in italy in conservatory aural theory corses are like a joke.
