Two improvisations: January 27th Parts 3 & 4

[Derek]

Here are two improvisations I recorded nearly a month ago on my Petrof Model III Grand. I didn't like them initially..now I do. See what you think. Enjoy!

Yeah, sometimes we like the things we made up only after a certain time And often these are the best ones. Others though we like the day we played them and after 4 weeks we think omg why did I ever like that one?? And here it's the former and they are very good actually. In the first one I like the dark and mysterious atmosphere in the beginning and the constant cumulation throughout the piece. It's cool how you lay the arpeggios down like a carpet and the melodies can walk majestically on them.
The second one to me seems have come out of a very open approach, and so it is very interesting to listen to! I guess this was very spontaneous and without a prepared idea? Anyway I like it very much.

Hey thanks Pianowolfi. I never improvise with a preconceived idea. Sometimes I sit down and I have some sort of notion to start with some figure or other, but everything else builds from there. Thanks for the comments. Carpets eh? haha. I love arpeggio carpets.

Wow! these are very cool 

The first one seems to organically grow out of the introductory motif.  All through out it seems like you were constantly molding something out of the beginning themes.  Bass note at 2:30 sounded cool. 

The second one feels dark, filled with inner despair.

Both of them have a very strong sense of coherent compositional unity.

Very nice.  What kind of Piano are you using?
