   The Keith Emerson Estate Announces the Release of the ‘Selections From Emerson Plays Emerson and Other Works’ Music Transcriptions Book – OUT NOW!

The Keith Emerson Estate is pleased to announce the completion and release of the music transcriptions book that Keith Emerson had been approving at the time of his passing.

The 25 transcriptions were created by a group of fans of the late composer’s work, and began as just the compositions on the ‘Emerson Plays Emerson’ album, before the book was expanded to include other works including “Piano Concerto No 1.”

The Emerson Estate would like to thank Jean Casavant and Gianfelice Riccardi for leading the groups of fans preparing these transcriptions. The Emerson Estate has commissioned its own quality control of the transcriptions and approved this book.

The book features a foreword adapted from Emerson’s emails about the project and a previously unpublished poem about composing which gives us an insight into Emerson’s mind.

Part of the late Keith Emerson’s foreword reads “So imagine my delight when news reached me that people had felt moved enough by my compositions to create transcriptions of them! Hopefully the “Emerson Plays Emerson” transcriptions will, in some small way, be useful to the next generation of composers to play and practice upon. I am humbled.”

The book is exclusively available as an Amazon Print-on-Demand book via the below link: https://geni.us/EPlaysEtranscriptions

	Hi, I hope that things like "Tarkus" is included ... seeing Rachel tear into this would probably make Keith cry and just realize what great stuff he put together, and had sitting in his back pocket that he had a hard time having folks around him to play it, or figure out how to use it. There are transcriptions that are beyond reason, though, and Rachel is one reason for saying that ... playing all this without a transcript since her mind is the transcript itself ... and perhaps this is the secret of the great musicians, writers, painters, and artists ... their "vision" lives on regardless ... and seeing something like this is wonderful ... and now we have to show these to academia so they give Keith his rightful place as a great composer ... not just some idiot playing loud rock music!
