Full transcription of Part XV from the album Rio, by Keith Jarrett.
This is the closing improvisation from the Rio concert, recorded on April 9, 2011, and what a way to finish out this concert! This is Keith at his most rapturous and in a concert already full of beautiful moments, he somehow still has this final masterpiece inside him. As the audience member shouts at the end, “Bravo!” indeed.
This was a challenging piece to transcribe with the melody sometimes switching between hands and of course all the constantly shifting arpeggios (so, so many notes!). Initially I thought about simplifying a lot of it with tremolos (which I do a little towards the end), but I think it reads better with it written out in full.
I am very far from being a virtuosic pianist, but I was surprised at how enjoyable and comfortable most of this is to play. Hope you enjoy seeing this on the page as much as I do!
