Music / Musik | | English term or phrase: by comping | Aus dem Bereich Musik:
While practising and recording, I had the impression that the living XXX was instructing and conducting me **by comping**, as I played his orignal score.
Im Text kommt ebenfalls das Wort "comp" vor. Ist dies eine Abkürzung für "compose"? Oder handelt es sich um einen Fachbegriff aus der Musikwelt? |

Anscheinend haben Chris und Ivo recht, Begleiten ist wohl nicht ausreichend.
Unter der URL http://www.darmstadt.de/kultur/musik/jazz/history/Jazzhistor... beispielsweise findet sich folgende Definition:
\"Der two beat des New-Orleans/Dixielandstils wird durch den four beat abgelöst, eine Betonung aller vier Schläge des Taktes durch den Kontrabaß, der die Technik des walking bass entwickelt, eine meist in Sekundschritten fortschreitende gezupfte Linie als harmonisch-rhythmisches Fundament der Musik. Der Schlagzeuger betont dazu (durch Baßtrommel oder Becken) die after-beat-Schläge 2 und 4. Der Gitarrist spielt akkordisch und betont ebenfalls alle vier Taktschläge. Das Klavier setzt in der Begleitung häufig off beat verschobene Akkordeinwürfe und entwickelt dabei die Technik des comping, eine Begleittechnik auf der Basis von Baß und Schlagzeug, außerdem eine rhythmische Irritation, die den Grund für den jeweiligen Solisten spannender machen soll\".
Vielleicht sollte man Comping als Fachbegriff stehen lassen, da er in sämtlichen der gefundenen dt. Texten, auch in Fachtexten nur umschrieben, nicht übersetzt wurde. (Google-Suche: comping+definition).

6 mins confidence: komplementieren
Explanation:
Hier ein Zitat:
http://www.indiana.edu/~smithcj/cjsne167.html
I'd just add to Paul's remarks that, as another outsider to the tradition, I've found it useful as a backer to think in terms of the jazz analogue, which is referred to as "'comping." Numerous pianists have told me, when I was being clueless in a jazz context, that 'comping is a contraction not of "accompanying" but of "complimenting." What that means to me is that my overriding responsibility in a given situation is to play what that situation calls for, one powerful factor in deciding which is what the melody players seem to want. That means playing minimalistically when that's what the players/situation want, and kicking out the jams when that's wanted. I personally _like_ both situations, and especially when playing with somebody who likes the backing to kick him/her in the butt. I like the dynamic interaction that happens when

According to this site, \"comping\" ist nicht bloßes Begleiten sondern eine Weise des Spielens, die einen anderen Musiker \"ergänzt\" und \"unterstützt\".

9 mins confidence: indem er Comping als Begleittechnik benutzte
Explanation:
To comp means "to play an irregular rhythmic chord accompaniment for jazz". Maybe this is the meaning of the word here as a verb. In addition, "comp" is widely used as an abbreviation for composed, composer, composite, composition, compositor.

52 mins confidence: durch improvisieren
Explanation:
I am not sure that there is really a German equivalent. This term comes from the jazz and popular music world of the middle of the twentieth century (c. 1930 - 1960) and the connotation is of improvising, with considerable approximation - in this case adapting the improvisation to "instruct and conduct", guiding the student by the additions he is improvising.
The word "comping" is similar to the use in the same set of linguistic contexts of "busking" and "vamping" - it´s relaxed and approximate.
Such playing was highly discouraged, or even forbidden in my background, which had a distinct streak of church/classical connections - people of this world consider comping/vamping disorderly, unskilled and disreputable. (I take a different view these days, and happily play this kind of loose improvisation on the harpsichord.)
Ivo Lang´s quote, with its reference to "complementing", seems pretty convincing as the derivation of the term. It´s certainly not related to "composing".
