Elegie (Jazz)

“Elegie” solo piano version arranged by Dias Karimov. Originally composed by Airat Karimov in 1982, this piece has been fully reimagined as a funk jazz piano arrangement with improvisation. Transposed, reharmonized, and structurally adapted, it features a strong rhythmic groove in the left hand, rich jazz voicings, and a fully written improvisation section in Funk and Rhythm and Blues style. Suitable for concert performance, this version reflects a modern interpretation of the original, balancing expressive phrasing with rhythmic drive. You can also view the original classical version of Elegie here. This arrangement is part of Dias Karimov’s active concert repertoire and reflects his personal approach to modern jazz interpretation.
