Improvisation, April 5th, Part 2.

Here's a longer one. There are at least 2 alternating themes that reappear throughout the first two thirds of the piece or so, and then two contrasting episodes with their own thematic material near the end. Enjoy...

I love this one, very good build up throught the whole first part towards 4.00. Yes I hear the maj 7th chords

lyrical and romantic from 4.50, very nostalgic, reminds me of Schumann's "Dichterliebe" (not the notes but the mood) Sorta thoughtful from 7.00. Definitely on my playlist
