Clarification request(s) and response CristinaY (asker) : 1:05pm Apr 25, 2002: mais contexto - O autor usa o termo HEAD em distinção com IMPROVISATION em vários momento, por exemplo: "Improvisation centres around
the head, which is usually played through at the beginning of the tune, then improvised upon, and finally returned to and played again as the ending."
Variação Explanation: Nem sempre seguir literalmente o uso da lÃngua de origem é a melhor solução. Por isso não traduzimos butterfly como manteiga voadora, mas borboleta. Seu contexto indica um arranjo central e outro secundário. Variação é um termo musical que se encaixaria bem neste contexto e não corre o risco de caracterizar uma improvisação. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-27 01:53:43 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Quanto a sua pergunta, Nikolao, a variação pode ser ou não um improviso.

improvisações Explanation: gÃria pesada. Veja:
Man, Basie's band uses a lot of "heads", not those written arrangements. That's why his band really cooks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-04-24 17:36:33 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A parte séria da definição é:
\"Head or Head Arrangement --- An arrangement of a song that is not written, but remembered by the band members (the tune and progression to improvise on).\" Reference: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/speak.htm erik b Brazil Native speaker of: Portuguese, French
