The composer's enthusiasm for ornithology and composing combined makes for a sensational unique addition to the Piano repertoire.

Cet ouvrage cherche à continuer un travail de mémoire et de constitution d'un patrimoine écrit de la musique improvisée. Il s'attache aussi à lancer des passerelles entre les genres, offrant à deux univers assez étanches (la musique classique écrite et la musique jazz improvisée) un même support de travail.- Aux musiciens de jazz, ces transcriptions permettront de pénétrer dans l'univers d'un des pianistes de jazz les plus marquants de son époque à travers son premier album solo?:- grilles originales manuscrites de Brad Mehldau?-- mise en page facilitant l'analyse musicale, par un respect permanent des structures?-- pistes de travail ébauchées par des commentaires préliminaires à chaque morceau.- Aux musiciens de formation classique, ces transcriptions permettront de découvrir la musique improvisée de l'intérieur?:- album très écrit, permettant une entrée en douceur dans le monde de la musique improvisée?-- relevé intégral, note pour note, chorus compris, de l'ensemble de l'album?-- pièces de différents formats et de difficulté variable.- Pour tous enfin, et pour mieux entrer dans l'univers de ce musicien d'exception, ces transcriptions sont enrichies de textes offrant quelques clés de compréhension de tout ce qui fait la beauté et l'achèvement de cet album ' Elegiac Cycle '?:- entretien de Ludovic Florin avec Brad Mehldau, 10 ans plus tard, où le musicien revient sur cette aventure, s'ouvre sur sa démarche, et nous offre sa vision d'artiste?-- commentaires globaux lançant quelques pistes de réflexion sur les sources d'inspiration de l'artiste dans cet album, littéraires (poésie romantique allemande du XIXe siècle, mythologie grecque ou littérature Beatnik américaine) et musicales (de l'explosion contrapunctique de Bach au lyrisme exacerbé de Beethoven, Schubert ou Brahms)?-- édition bilingue, car la musique ne connaît pas de frontières.This work seeks above all to continue the work of memory that constitutes the written heritage of improvised music in general, and jazz in particular.
