Subject: RE: Query: Blues pianists From: meself Date: 05 Feb 26 - 11:50 AM Oh, yes, definitely, on all counts. Sheet music might be a transcription of one particular recording or performance, or an edited and selected mix of a number - or, more frequently, a simplified outline of the melody and highlights aimed at the middling pianist. Having said that, there is no doubt the odd Blues pianist who settles on a specific arrangement and sticks with it note for note, but that would be the exception. Blues is essentially improvisation within a simple but (usually) rigid chord structure. |

Subject: Blues pianists From: GUEST Date: 05 Feb 26 - 08:22 AM Do blues pianists vary the way they play a particular song? So might the sheet music for a famous blues song be slightly different from the versions played by different pianists? And might an individual blues pianist play a song differently on different occasions, just for the fun of it? |
