Classical Improvs 2
on: October 03, 2005, 02:22:46 AM
Ok, here are some more of my classical improv preludes! I'll try to do a brief summary on some of them. Hope you like them
This ones my 2nd prelude. I don't know why I named it 'Deja Vu'...

This is my 3rd prelude named "Revenge". I'm not exactly sure why I made this one

This is my 10th prelude. It is my favorite prelude that I've made, and I have no idea why. Well actually I do, I like how I felt I didnt have to rush in this one and that it's in a minor key.

The 11th prelude, or "The Greatest of All" is another one of my favorites. I suppose I like it so much because of the strange beginning.

Aaaaahhh...another one of my fav's. The 1st "Jazz Prelude". I like this one because I made it sound like something a professional like Joe Sample or someone like that would do.

Here's the final one I'm going to post. "Them Ol' Blues" is an early blues sounding composition. Actually it's more of a mix of ragtime and blues if you listen in the beginning.

Well that's all.....Please, comments and criticisms are welcome!

Ignoring your playing is right out of the question and well you know it. It's just getting late at night and I've had a hard day, beside which I require several listenings to do them justice.
"Professional" is certainly a word one could, perhaps should, apply to some of these. I have only heard four so far but "Deja Vu" appeals very much indeed, possibly because it is least "professional". I use the term factually, and not with either laudatory or deprecatory implication. For some reason it brought certain of Frank Bridge to my mind in conception and figuration, but not in precise harmony. "Revenge" has strikingly effective form. That is the wonderful thing about your improvisation; you seem able to hold an a priori conception of form and harmony together without flying off on tangents.
Curiously enough I've just been listening to Jarrett who, of course, flies off on every conceivable tangent and relies on organic form making an appearance via the unconscious. Nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with your way. In improvisation I think it is important to remember that we are at our best when we are most ourselves.
You refer to the final blues one as a "composition". Are some of these partly improvised and partly worked out ?
I shall listen to the other two tomorrow. Thank you very much for sharing more of your remarkable playing with us.
