These are both lovely and tuneful pieces. I'd never heard you play in a more melodic style, that I can recall (edit, wait maybe I do recall at least one), before. My only memory of your playing is usually something cataclysmic in response to a cataclysmic world or personal event of some kind (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's just neat to see different sides of each other here in the improv room!
The second piece makes you yearn for more. Nonetheless, it feels like a complete piece. Beautiful miniatures.
I enjoyed both! It's an interesting task: say as much as you can within the time limit of one minute. That might be as well a general thread within the improvisation board Rachmaninoff said (I have read that in one of the biographies) that it was one of the most difficult tasks for him to compose his preludes for piano, to communicate the essence of what he had to say within the frame of such relatively short pieces for one single instrument.
