Eubie Blake wrote it out in a much simpler version than he actually played it, and my version is largely a reflection of his own performance. Eubie always said it was incumbent on a musician to make his own version of a piece like \u003cem\u003eCapricious Harlem\u003c\/em\u003e - not just to play 'THE notes', as he always said - but I added extremely little to his own version, and when I played it for him he heartily approved: 'It's your piece now, kid!' I dedicate my transcription of \u003cem\u003eCapricious Harlem\u003c\/em\u003e to his memory.\" (William Bolcom)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    98-EP68339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e    Sheet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e    12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e    Edition Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear Published:\u003c\/b\u003e    2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"ALFRED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67732212809919,"sku":"ALF EP68339 9790300757711","price":12.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/98-EP68339.jpg?v=1792730630","url":"https:\/\/www.imaginethismusic.com\/products\/alf-98-ep68339","provider":"Imagine This Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
