Introduction
Transcription in music is the act of notating (a musical note is a system which represents aurally produced music through the use of written symbols) a piece which was previously unnotated. In other words, it is the act of producing a piece of music having some particular notes of music which was not noted. It is something like music composer A.R. Rahman may not read or write music. A music transcriber converts the musical melody to a printed form. Alternatively, if some piece of music was written to be played for, say, harmonium and was to be performed on other musical instrument, say, flute, then too transcription comes into the picture. The notes of the music remain the same but the quality of sound changes owing to the difference in the instruments. The difference between transcription and arrangement is that in transcription the transcriber follows the original note strictly while in an arrangement the arranger can take some liberty with the original notes.
