Short Improvisation

on: March 16, 2009, 07:42:15 PM

I wanted to try writing some simple melodic pieces for my newborn daughter, so this is very short and completly spontanious improvisation. I recorded about 10 different improvs in the same key to try and find ideas i like for my daughter.

Let me know what you think! Good and bad.

thanks for listening

Hi chopinatic: Your improv has the right idea, but I think too many runs here and there which can lose the melody. Probably simplify it and not make it too busy with some of the passages. And not so fast. What a nice thing for you to do for your new born daughter! Congratulations too! I do like your improvs and this one will be a promising one.
best wishes, go12_3
