Flowing Sorrow - Improv

[chopinatic]

Firstly i would like to apologise for the hissing and crackling that occurs on the recording, Im having problems with my Lexicon Alpha. If anyone knows how to solve it let me know.

Ok the inspiration for this piece and its name came when my best friend got dumped by his long-term girlfriend he took it quite badly.

He sent me a text telling me he was down by the canal thinking about things. I Drove down there to see his car pulled up. I got out and started walking down the canal and then i saw him in the distance, he was staring down at the water crying and i could tell there was many different things running through his head.

So this is what my improv is about.

Please enjoy, and please comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks

May this improv be for all the sorrows that we go through....I appreciate this
and thank you for sharing it and you did a nice job with your improv...
the very last measure when you do the arpeggio, it really needs to slow
down  because that very last part is the final breath of the sorrow so make
it not rushed.   

best wishes,

Though you depict sorrow here, it is very soothing.  About middle of the way through you take a turn, to my ears, toward Beethoven, which I like.  It sounds like something he could have improvised himself, and Beethoven was a master at improvising.  Beautiful playing, Chopinatic.  I enjoyed this very much.

Yeah i get your point about the end, but then again improv just takes you places, it might have been how i was feeling at the time of improvising.

If i was to record it as a composition however the ending would be as you described

Thanks for comment, its always appreciated

Thats for your comment goldentone,

It really made my day.
And yes it did come out soothing but i also though reflective.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this. I know sorrow; I've lost friends and love, a condition that comes with age I suppose. Has your friend heard this music? He might really appreciate it; I know I would.

A very sentimental work, played with tenderness.
