Just joined this forum. Cool place.

Does anyone out there have a library of charts or transcriptions of compositions by ECM artists? I'm not interested in transcribed solos - just melodies/changes/arrangements. At the moment I'm interested in the tune "Spielraum" from the Rainer Bruninghaus/Eberhard Weber album "Freigeweht".

I'm a huge ECM Fan/student, still listening to ECM recordings from the 1980's up to today.

Responses appreciated.

I recommend downloading free software called Chordata, and see if it can at least provide some hints.

There is a lot to keep track of in this particular piece, so the software may make some (many) mistakes, but it may at least provide the anchor points to work from.

For example, this is the chord analysis at the point of the first note of English horn in Spielraum (0:15):



And here's another screenshot when it goes more major around the 2-minute mark:



Hope this helps!

Thanks for this tip. I'll try it for sure.
