Nocturne - Sorrow and Rebirth

[chopinatic]

A truly meaningful improvisation too me. A let loose and escape from a pretty rough week or two. Please comment and criticise, good and bad. Thanks for listening

A beautiful piece to be sure, unified in form by the poignant, recurring descending figure, and by the little upward harmonic sequences of the sort I remarked about in the other improvisation. Again, as in that one, strong interest attaches to the asynchronous contrapuntal effect of displaced accents.

I appear to lack altogether this ability, shared by you and pianowolfi, to play music in direct and appropriate response to life events, a consistency of real emotion and it's expression in music. I can play in response to something but the musical content bears no resemblance at all to the stimulus. Oh well, as pianowolfi said, we ought to celebrate our differences, they make things more interesting.

Thanks Ted,
I have no idea if anyone else gets the emotion or meanining behind my improvisations, so therefore my improvisations may too bear no resembalnce. However I do tend to reflect my mood with most improvisations, at least thats the aim. But I also just improvise for the sake of it, with no message, or point or release, I find these to be my worst improvisations though! which is ashame. Thanks for posting and listening

Hi chopinatic, sorry for not responding to this and the one wish improv earlier. I'm finding it hard to live up to my own proposed sticky thread, cause I can't think of anything to say except that I really enjoyed both of them as usual. A little part of me secretly wishes this improv room had about 50 people in it all playing intensely melodic music...if only we could bring the internet back to the 19th century that'd be more likely to be true I suspect.

Wow, what an incredibly beautiful creation! I felt that you were letting the ideas flow, and managed to give each idea the time it needed to blossom, yet you also managed to keep a sense of structure - everything felt tied together nicely.

I'll certainly be giving this repeated listenings.
