Nice!   :D  yours is really cool, some interesting chords near the end.  Usually ppl just mash arps and scales in their improvisations, yours is awesome.
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2

I am listening now.

At 6:30 the final section turns majestic.  :)
The last words of this improvisation are beautiful.
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

Thank you, both nanabush and goldentone for stopping by, listening and commenting :).

Goldentone, what do you mean by "the last words" ?  I suppose I could guess at what you mean, but it would be just a guess.

I like how you stick to the basic texture of the opening and continually build on that.  I can really feel the tension as it moves toward the climax.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I mean that what you say at the end is meaningful, "the words."
