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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 25 transcriptions were created by a group of fans of the late composer\u2019s work, and began as just the compositions on the\u00a0\u2018Emerson Plays Emerson\u2019\u00a0album, before the book was expanded to include other works including \u201cPiano Concerto No 1.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book features a foreword adapted from Emerson\u2019s emails about the project and a previously unpublished poem about composing which gives us an insight into Emerson\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the late Keith Emerson\u2019s foreword reads\u00a0\u201cSo imagine my delight when news reached me that people had felt moved enough by my compositions to create transcriptions of them! Hopefully the \u201cEmerson Plays Emerson\u201d transcriptions will, in some small way, be useful to the next generation of composers to play and practice upon. I am humbled.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
