Hi chopinatic:  the improv 2 has a good introduction and on 1:38 has a good sustaining melody.  Towards the end has some playfulness. 
On improv 3, conveys  reflective moods.  Nice work and keep it up.

Hi chopinatic, 

I liked both of your improvs.  It's nice to see someone else improvising in a neo-romantic style.  Very nice! 
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

Hi rachfan,
Thanks for your comment, i try and improvise in every style but this is my fave, i feel you can do alot with it, one minute its romantic and its soft, then can be fast and energetic but all still be the same piece.

I will get some more up soon.
thanks

Hi chopinatic, really nice improvs :) especially this alla marcia thing in the first is cool, and I like the atmosphere in the first part of the second. What happened at the ending? Did you cut something? sounds as if it's not finished yet.

These were enjoyable - in particular I liked how you reworked the quasi-Rachmaninov introduction of the first improvisation later on in the piece.

Are you sure this is improvisation? It sounds to me like you wrote them ;D.
