As others have said, clear articulation of concise ideas is your strength. There is none of the ambiguity or lack of definition frequently heard in free improvisation. I could listen to much longer sessions but brevity might be intrinsic to your piano personality.

Hi,
Thank you for your analysis. Sincerely I think that there is difference between the time I felt during I played and the real time of the listeners. I think I should think more about at the experience of the listeners during I improvise

Thank you again
Kind regards

Another lovely miniature.  You have a good thing going here, the ability to concisely convey ideas in these short improvisation. 

The performers perspective is frequently at a state of heightened awareness and detail, and this is completely normal.  One of the ways you can get into the listeners perspective is to record yourself and listen back.  Placing an interval of time between the performance and listening can also give further insight as the immediate sensation of the performance gives way to more objective listening.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

During and immediately after playing I am always inclined to think my music far worse than it actually is, an effect shared by one or two other players I know. I suppose that is better than the converse, which would be discouraging, but then I have never experienced it the other way around, which fact seems curious on the face of it.

Thanks about your compliments and analysis.
I agree about the importance of listening for improving the listeners perspective.
But sometimes I think it’s good also to express what is in and nothing more.
Anyway I’’ll post some videos with longer developed ideas
Greetings
