[@gianlucazanon1505]

To this day, buying this score transcription has been one of best purchases of my life. I am having so much fun playing this. Grazie

[@ЛилияМитрофанова-т5ш]

Amazing!!!

[@Going_Goingovich]

thx

[@kellycoleman715]

Wowza!!! My grandmother knew the composer of this song. W. C. Handy and his band played at her high school graduation around 1918 in Florence, Alabama. He would be mighty impressed to hear this! 👏🏻👋🏻

[@sailorbychoice1]

My dad had been a honky tonk pianist in his youth, when I was four we got an organ and he started playing honky tonk organ, this was one his earliest songs I heard him play, I always thought of it as _The Saint Daddy Blues_ I learned a boogie woogie version that was quite fun! Great version!!!

[@scottkb2000]

How anyone could NOT like this song or this great transcription is beyond me...wow!

[@ianmoore5502]

the music you choose to transcribe is otherworldly

[@mikedaniels3009]

Timothy, PLEASE keep "departing" in this spirit from what you usually transcribe. You are zeroing in on the BEST music, a feet tapping stride earworm boogie and artistically on a high level, U will gain a huge new follower base doing genius stuff like this. THIS IS WHAT THE WEARY HEART NEEDS and DESIRES!!! Much much obliged. U have made many happy today!!!!!!!!

[@Violapianist]

Lord I love the Gershwin references throughout

Pretty sure there was a riff from In The Hall Of The Mountain King too

Great interpretation jazz to blues to boogie. Very tight. The practicing must have been very long.

[@alessandroghirardello3224]

Dude, I don't usually comment, but let's just say I had to like and comment this video!

[@Iceland874]

This is awesome! Love it and totally the best arrangement of this song. I can do piano, have a drummer, violinist, flutist but need a bass player. The boogie woogie reminds me of my grandma. She would love playing this!

[@quill444]

I think I still prefer the 'drumless' version as elegantly rendered by St. Louis Native, Stephanie Trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anjYqWmcqc-UY6c There are also some pretty nice versions of this old blues tune played on the guitar. Even a blind guy can do it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqvJe52ebZ2Ud9U - j q t -

Oh my goodness. Underrated channel Timothy! God bless.

[@jayfluellen1287]

Awesome job with the transcription!! Thank you!!

[@TimothyGondola]

A slight departure from what I usually transcribe. This one is full of cool blues licks you can add to your vocabulary. I'll be adding the chord symbols to the PDF this week. First correct reply gets the sheet music: what’s the name of the genre of the second half of this piece?

[@onisarb]

Timothy Gondola hey, keep up the good work. I think it smells of Boogie woogie...

[@jeanhasdenteufel3818]

Boogie woogie

[@jeanhasdenteufel3818]

Usualy I get borred by this genre but not this time.

[@montigo2063]

Yea boogie woogie baby! That bassline 😍

[@justinrogers6466]

Definitely Boogie Woogie. Very similar to Carl Sonny Leyland's approach to the style.

[@kalospiano9470]

awesome stuff

[@galina7015]

Восхитительно! Я даже не успевала за нотами следить.

[@СергійБобрицький-н9т]

[@soaekim8774]

This is amazing work! I'm obsessed with this 😭♥️

[@rgarlinyc]

Terrific - made me get up and dance at the piano as I played it! Yeah, I know - I'm sorry, it won't happen again.🤣

[@RoZita870]

This is, like, the bee's knees....copacetic!!

[@AnAmericanComposer]

For future reference, when you want to notate the really relaxed feel in m. 59, it's more idiomatic to write "lay back" instead of "way behind the next beat". Nice job!

[@TimothyGondola]

Will keep that in mind, thanks!

[@DerekHartley]

Funny, I would definitely know how to play what's written than what you're suggesting.

[@irina5134]

Thanks 😊

[@pianomarianopiano]

[@danielarco8566]

Nice job,Timothy!

[@millennial8441]

Stride piano style! Great.

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Great rendition!

[@brettbreet]

Well, that was fun!

[@nezkeys79]

R.i.p anyone who can only stretch a 9th as usual 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@theodorekorbos2804]

I can hit the 10th a little bit of work but I reach the 10th pretty good the best way I think is to run octaves up and down the scales in other words like we're going to play C scale Play octaves that should strengthen your hand do it start out by doing like 1 minute and then build up from there.

[@mythicbubbles2507]

I play sharp tens on the daily

[@crowbar_the_rogue]

I can just barely pull off an 11th. But if it's in the middle of a piece, I don't like to go last the 9th.

[@fobthebuilderofficial]

Is nobody gonna talk about this intro song? Could you please do us a video on that alone? I've been looking all over the place for a full jazz version of that piece. Dying to hear this.

[@squedwed8545]

Nicolas Stork-Benes He did a video on it a few months ago. It’s called ‘All I Do’, written by Stevie Wonder, performed by Cory Henry

[@elenafiordaliso2072]

Bravo🎼🎵🎶❤️💐please piano sheets🙏

[@mikedaniels3009]

Revisiting. Timothy, your amazing work does Brian's boogie genius justice. Only when one tries to dabble with this classic oneself does one realise Brian's limitless resourcefulness and pianistic virtuosity. Never repetitive, each chorus a new idea. Try to play that for a change, LangLang, Yuja & co, and without sheet music.

[@BrianHollandMusic]

Thank you, Mike! You are too kind.

[@thelonious76]

I suggest a couple of things: I'd write bass lines like the one starting at 5:39 one octave upper [adding the down octave symbol], because it would be easier to read with less cuts. Also accidentals for acciaccature like in bars 27-28, better to write D# instead of Eb, so you can use less symbols :) I don't know if I explained what I meant. Do you use Sibelius?

[@holyhex6520]

Basically you're screwed if your left hand is too small to reach 10ths.

[@marcofarinamusic]

Spettacolare!!!!

[@TimothyGondola]

Grazie mille!

[@rafaelortsespadero4870]

Genial !!!!! Muchas Gracias !

[@rudrab814]

01:22 is that a freaking "In the Hall of the Mountain King"???

[@jackmcrider]

Yes, although likely a reference to Fats Waller’s “Viper’s Drag” in this case. 😊

Yes! I'm also looking forward to getting it!

[@benjaryan]

I envy those with big enough hands to walk 10ths :(

[@gegeggioge]

😊 im almost there!

[@TimothyGondola]

Don't forget small hands also have their advantages :) easier & smoother runs because of smaller distance/energy required from finger to key.

[@benjaryan]

@@TimothyGondola yea I think I'd take the trade =P

[@Maranatha1968]

Ooohhh yeaaahhhhh

[@i.ehrenfest349]

Is there any other place we can hear this? A CD, some other high quality version?

[@jrjacobsil]

I have always wondered what Bach would think of this kind of music.

[@Magnet12]

He probably say “TRASH!”

[@TheSlowPianist]

Baroque music is built upon dance styles and a tradition of improvisation with a strong theoretical base, and is often played in a strict tempo where 'feel' is everything in bringing the music to life. The bassline is played by a large stringed instrument, and the keyboard comps in the background. Sometimes serious Baroque specialists even swing, ever so slightly. He'd have the deepest respect for jazz musicians. He'd probably consider them superior in practical terms to classical musicians, who these days rarely learn to improvise fluently and often don't understand how their own music functions. I say this as a classical musician. And try and find some videos of Baroque music being played well, if you're reading this as a jazz musician. You'd be amazed at the similarities.

[@lucasfox1187]

I played this song in my middle school jazz band. Knew it sounded familiar.

[@boogie-335]

0:28

[@MooPotPie]

Odd that you put the first half of this in the key of C instead of the keys of G & G minor, since it doesn't modulate to C until the boogie section. Holland is a real master of this style!

[@joon_jeong]

There's a few missing notes in the last two notes of m.21, the right hand comes down to play F-Cb-F and E-Bb-E.

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

The second half is boogie-woogie, of course

[@PieterDave]

whats the name of the intro song? is there a transcription of that?

[@DuderDudre]

is a G blues generally not written with a one-sharp key signature?

[@penkal1981]

well, since the piece is written in blues scale, i would say that it's ok that he didn't do that.

[@linclinc5]

The right is good enough with a simple left hand, some great blues riffs there….tenths..out of the question lol

[@williambunter3311]

Fantastic!!! I have subscribed, and look forward eagerly to more of the same. Thanks so much for posting, Timothy. Hope you don't mind, Brian, but in my imagination it's me playing; though sadly it will never be more for me than just in my imagination.

No use to get this transcript or try to practice it if you can't manage to take a major tenth in your left hand all the way through. Liszt and Art Tatum could take an 11th (octave + fourth) with ease. No use to try to copy that if you have normal hands.

[@janbriggs3387]

COME ON FLAT TOP I WANT YOU BACK FOREVER CAKE TODAY I love you

[@ДавидАрутюнян-ъ9к]

You are the second Oscar Peterson...

[@RK-yc9ys]

The key is G, right? why don't you just add one〝#〟?

[@AnAmericanComposer]

The key center is on G but the scale is based on mixolydian or bebop, which has F natural, makes more sense to have no F# in the key.

[@RK-yc9ys]

Dear @@AnAmericanComposer What I'm hearing is more basic. If the key is 〝G〟, it means to add one 〝#〟at the beginning of the score. The key of the 〝G〟. It sounds to me.　 This is the basic of music. I learned this in elementary school. What about you?

[@michaelturner8724]

@@RK-yc9ys Yes the key is "G" but its not G major,, its G mixolydian. Which is like G major but sort of different -- hence no sharp

[@RK-yc9ys]

Dear@@michaelturner8724 This is how to write. If 〝G〟mixolydirn, Should write it first on the score. I don't think its correct to make it hard to read.
