Remembering the great Maurizio Pollini
Legendary pianist Maurizio Pollini defined modern piano playing through a combination of virtuosity of the highest degree, a complete sense of musical purpose and commitment that works in complete control of the virtuosity. His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

I didn't know that an improvisation could be messy - how often is it that a mistake can be used to explore new worlds...a mistake redirected cancels out the mistake if your fast on your feet, sometimes with an effect greater than the original intent! That's a perspective, and of course I know it's never always true.

But here? No, I find nothing messy here. This is all very well and soothing and beautiful; I'd not change a thing if I had to. I'll bet Ellie thinks proud of her Daddy as he clearly thinks of his Daughter.  :)
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

Thanks for your really nice message Furtwaengler.

Your very right about mistakes, they can give room for change and growth.

Lullabies are a really fascinating subject, aren't they? :)
I think I heard another one for Ellie from you a while ago. Somehow I associate the excursions you are taking in your music with the excursions that your little discoverer is going to undertake. Very fine and loving playing!  :)

I'll take your definition of messy, Chopinatic.  This is beautiful, and a very good improv.
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

I don't get a chance to get on very often or post for that matter. I love this forum. I have gone back to do some listening in my free time and I must say that your works are very inspiring. Your improvs flow so smooth and are rich with melodic content. They are overflowing with emotional ideas and are easy to connect with. I enjoy your music. You are an inspiring talent in this forum. Thank you.
