c minor arpeggio thing
little g minor cadence (with arpeggio)
chromatic scale after, ending on low C
some octaves, going into g minor

g minor bass figure, with some fast scales in the right hand
goes to an Ab, then some little Bb major part

hectic catchy polka rhythm in g minor for a little bit then GLISSANDO

goes to a more mellow thing with some fiddling in the right hand (I love doing this during improvising)

gets intense, in some Bbm - dm changes

quietly ends on a Bb major chord

It's an improv, and he got the audience going!  For only 1:45 he got quite a few different moods.  Especially on an electric piano too standing up, I'd find it awkward playing some of that stuff no doubt!  I do like some of the stuff in it, some beautiful sounding stuff  :)
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2
