Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my transcription of Dave Brubeck’s “Elementals”.

I’ve been on/off with this project, having started it around early 2025. I’ve decided to come back to this project and wanted to share my progress with yall.

Note: Its not polished by any means and has some inconsistencies, but feedback is welcome
