In 1995, I was asked to perform MEDITATION at a concert. It was this request that prompted me to transcribe this alluring and hauntingly emotional work for piano.Â
Although traditionally performed by violinists or other instruments as a solo piece with orchestra, in this new piano transcription of MEDITATION, I have tried to capture the beauty and sensitivity of the melody and harmonies written by Massenet in 1894 for his opera Thaïs.Â
This new transcription is clearly notated with dynamic marks, phrasing, suggested fingerings, and appropriate musical terms for playing.Â
This piano transcription is a wonderful recital and encore piece for professionals and students.Â
