O Grande Amor is a detailed transcription of a live performance by Gary Burton. The source recording, captured from a fixed camera perspective, allows for close observation of pedalling, mallet damping, and hand damping techniques, which are carefully reflected in the notated version.

The transcription documents phrasing, articulation, and the formal outline of the performance with precision. Chord symbols and structural markers clarify the harmonic framework while preserving the fluid character of the original interpretation.

The video linked on this page presents a performance of the transcription by Leonhard Waltersdorfer.
