Bach and Improvisation - A research on how useful Bach is for improvising music
Abstract
I wrote this thesis for myself and someone who would like to learn improvised music not from Jazz but Bach. I analyzed one composition by Bach, then I showed one example of using his idea to a Jazz standard tune. It was challenging for me to understand and analyze his composition as a Jazz improviser. To be honest I don't like to learn the music language from Bebop music but I like to play Jazz standard music. If someone would like to be good at playing jazz music, I think that it is important to know the music language in jazz. I'm sure that knowing the compositions of Bach is helpful to improve our skills for your improvising music and playing jazz. Thanks for people I've met and special thanks to my parents.
