Elfentanz (Elves Dance) for the solo piano - with sheet music CH Lee 2017-03-22 | Piano transcription for Ezra Jenkinson's violin piece Elfentanz or Elves' Dance, also known as Danse des Sylphes.Sheet music here:drive.google.com/file/d/0BzF-Epdqgc0yNVc0Q1NJVXNzemc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-SpbjEDHrJgiyTwDADqSnowDedicated to: le-shaineAudio track: Yamaha ClavinovaVideo track: Samsung Galaxy S6Composed for the violin & piano: Ezra JenkinsonPiano Transcription & performance: C.H. Lee (Mar 2017)Comments:The original piece was written for the intermediate violinist as a study for the technique spiccato. There is also a YouTube video showing the young and talented Akim Camara playing for the world renowned violinist and conductor Andre Rieu. However, the piece was incorrectly referred to as Mendelssohn's Dance of the Fairies. The incorrect label has resulted in interested folks being unable to identify and find the piece; a pity for such an endearing piece of music.Here's my version for the solo piano. For folks who are curious, the original violin score's semi-quavers cannot be played in the same way on the keyboard. If attempted to, the piano playing will be most labored and unnatural. Although the violin score was written in semi-quavers, the melody line can be articulated equally well in quavers and at a lower tempo. As a result, the tempo for the "quavered" melody on the piano should be higher to keep the piece lively.C.H. Leea.k.a. midicacophony22-March-2017

However, a lack of commitment and resources meant that this project never got started until now. My hopes for this project are twofold... to add to the solo pianist's repertoire and to demonstrate that this piece can sound just as beautiful, albeit a little different, on the keyboard.As much as possible, I have tried to preserve all the voices in the Ferdinand/Charlier scores while ensuring that the piece is playable. As a result, the required technical skill is inevitably high. However, I assure the intermediate level pianist that the transcription is definitely playable with a little investment in time and effort. The advanced pianist will find it easier for sure.I have opted to play back on MuseScore because I am certain that the amount of time required of me to make a decent recording on a real piano for a piece this long would mean that this transcription may never be published. I have chosen the Salamander Grand Piano soundfont because it is the best option available for MuseScore. I have adjusted the velocities for every single note in order to get better dynamics for a more lifelike playback.C.H. Leea.k.a. midicacophony24 January 2016

Sunshine Over Tashkurgan (Piano Solo) 阳光照耀着塔什库尔干 (钢琴) CH Lee 2014-08-24 | The original piece was written by the Chinese composer Chen Gang (陈钢) in 1976 as a showpiece for the violin with piano accompaniment. I first heard it at a violin competition and was awed by its beauty. Since I could not find any score for the solo piano I thought I would do an arrangement from the original score.Download the sheet music pdf here:drive.google.com/file/d/0BzF-Epdqgc0yZmlGWW5NUzdMZWc/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-Mv2UiAk93nD76w4r3y2JzgI do not claim any credit. All credits goes to the composer; I am only the arranger. I would not have been able to do it without the original score.Tashkurgan (sometimes spelled Tashkorgan or Taxkorgan) Tajik Autonomous County is one of the counties of Kashgar Prefecture in western Xinjiang, China. From what I have read, the melody lines are folk tunes of Tashkurgan. The majority population are ethnic Tajiks and this is their music.
