I'm a professional transcriber
on: April 26, 2014, 11:29:08 AM
I’ve been transcribing piano compositions by ear for 10 years as well as creating piano arrangements for instrumental pieces (jazz, rock, orchestral, etc). For my solo piano transcriptions, I can guarantee a 95-100% accuracy rating and I can deliver most transcriptions in a timely manner (usually within 1-2 days).

Here’s a sample of a Duke Ellington piece I transcribed into sheet music and performed:

And some miscellaneous arrangements of instrumental pieces I've made and performed:

Pricing depends entirely on the song. If you're interested in my services, let me know and I'll get back to you right away.

Thanks.

First of all - you won't find too many people looking for arrangements here - I've been known to do arrangements as well... and no one's biting. Also... You made a couple of mistakes - you've missed out a few beats in bars 17 & 18, 26 & 27. Might want to adjust those bars and include the right notes.

Plus I think you're rhythms off in a number of spots. I think you've forgotten the very major rubato feel in this music (plus I feel a few pauses) and mis-interpreted the rhythm. Also - there are several chordal notes which could be written better between the hands. And you added an extra Db at the end of the piece.

This is coming from an expert at transcriptions.
