arrangement
arrangement or transcription. Adaptation of a piece of mus. for a medium other than that for which it was orig. comp. Sometimes ‘transcription’ means a rewriting for the same medium but in a style easier to play. (In the USA there appears to be a tendency to use ‘arrangement’ for a free treatment of the material and ‘transcription’ for a more faithful treatment. In jazz ‘arrangement’ tends to signify ‘orchestration’.)
