Everyone knows it: Sullivan Fortner is one of the greatest contemporary pianists. He's also the most difficult musician I have had to transcribe (more than Martial Solal or Art Tatum, that's saying something!)
I spent several weeks on each of these transcription, wondering about each measure (which hand plays which note? how to write the score so that it is clear and readable?)…
Yesterday (video)
When Sullivan Fortner plays one of the most beautiful songs of all time, it's bound to be fantastic! It's both sublime and extremely rich and dense. For the first time, I even needed to add a third staff to make the score readable! The transcription of this song is a real dive into a great musical spirit - I advise you to sit down at the piano to try to play this music, it's quite an experience.

I am not surprised that Glenn Zaleski managed to make a 25-minute video on the first 20 seconds of this piece: each measure is a masterpiece, a fireworks, a kaleidoscope!
I had a hard time choosing the right key signature: Ebm seemed natural, but the Cb and Fb bothered me… BM didn't work either. I ended up choosing no key, and alternated between flats and sharps. Hope it works for you!
