Yet another transcription exercise
Jul. 25th, 2010 11:41 amOh hey, it's time for another transcription of one of TH's Official Concert Keyboard Intros™! This time, it's "Satu peikoista" by Kotiteollisuus (No, I haven't been surfing TH videos on Youtube -- why would I? -- there's a live version of this song (not the one in the video) on one of their EPs.).
Just as the last time I transcribed one of these parts, the song is sounded a half tone below easy-to-play keys. But this time, I have notated it in concert pitch (B+/g#-) rather than the transposed pitch (C+/a-). I notice that the video shows TH playing it with transposed fingering, so his instrument is tuned down. That's fine -- he's a keyboardist and I'm a pianist. Pianists don't get an easy break with songs in difficult keys.
