    Thank you for dropping a like and subscribing! Sheet music trivia (first to answer correctly gets PDF): what was the name of the protagonist in the original movie from which this tune is from?

      Beautifully done, Timothy! Charlie would be proud. (EDIT: Charlie 🪣 would be even prouder!)

      Thanks Timothy! Yeah, you can argue Charlie is the protagonist or Willy Wonka, although I like Charlie as an answer because Wonka’s more of a transitory figure.

    When I signed on as a Patreon patron, I couldn't quite put my finger on why. It turns out it was for Bill Charlap's Pure Imagination and Timothy Gondola's skillful transcription. I've been on the hunt for the most elegant arrangement of this classic fave for quite some time. At last. Thank you. I feel like this was my personal reward for a bit of patronage. :)

    I had to pause around 3:26 to see how that last chord on the left hand was played. I was already surprised at having to reach from F to Ab and was even more shocked to find that you reached F to Bb! Super impressive stuff I loved the whole cover but that bit in particular was crazy

    Another great transcription, Timothy! Nice playing, too. On average, how long does it take you to do a transcription? Also, do you use
    any kind of software or do you just do it old school and listen to the recording at regular speed and write it down? Before CDs came out in the early 80s, I transcribed
    from LPs and cassettes. It was really great training. What kind of notation software do you use?

    • @TimothyGondola
      @TimothyGondola  3 роки тому +4

      Thanks Tom! I use MuseScore to notate, with no help from any transcription softwares; I haven't found any that are helpful. Sometimes I need to slow down the mp3 if it's moving too quickly. Transcription time is a trade secret but it's not too long :) !

    Traveling in the world of my creation
    What we'll see will defy

    If you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world?
    There's nothing to it
    There is no life I know
    To compare with pure imagination
    Living there, you'll be free
    If you truly wish to be
