Sullivan Fortner: Yesterday (Beatles cover)

Everyone knows it: Sullivan Fortner is one of the greatest contemporary pianists. When he plays one of the most beautiful songs of all time, it's bound to be fantastic!

Transcribing Sullivan Fortner's music intimidated me a little, and I thought that tackling a ballad would be easier, or maybe even within my reach as a pianist… big mistake! It's both sublime and extremely rich and dense. For the first time, I even needed to add a third staff to make the score readable!

The transcription of this song is a real dive into a great musical spirit - I advise you to sit down at the piano to try to play this music, it's quite an experience.
