Three Improvisations

[Nightscape]

Here's three improvisations.... pretty self-explanitory I guess.

Man you're freaking GOOD !!!
The Ravel touch and a little bit Debussy is very perceptible, yet it's not cliched, and your technique err... "pianism" blows me!
The only regret is that it was not on a nice sounding piano.

That was quite something.

Hey, thanks.  Yes, I wish I could record on something other than my digital piano...

These interesting little creations escaped my attention until tonight. Were you aware that Frank Bridge wrote an "Ecstasy" and a "Bittersweet" ? He didn't write a "Contemplative" but he wrote a "Retrospect".

While your pieces obviously do not resemble Bridge's one to the other, the extraordinary thing is that your overall conception, your phrasing and indeed, several of your actual chords in these pieces, are eerily close to Bridge's general piano idiom. The mood in certain sections is almost pure Bridge. 

This is in no way a negative observation. Bridge was a master at capturing a particular atmosphere very hard to put into words - a sort of ominous and intense nostalgia. In your own way you do it here, and do it very well.

I don't normally go about spotting resemblances as some listeners do because I don't think it matters one way the other. However, as I have been a Bridge admirer for many years, it more or less took me by force. If you have never heard any of Bridge's piano music (not the sonata, that's a bit different) I suggest you waste no time listening to him as you will find a kindred spirit in no uncertain terms.

As I say, your pieces stand alone without this parallel, but the similarity of both names and overall mood is uncanny.

I had a vague sense of deja vu while I was writing this, and sure enough
