Improvisation on missing a loved one

[stringoverstrung]

Hello,

today I missed a loved one... This improvisation came to be this evening because of this...  When playing it back it struck me that I could really feel the longing for this beautiful person.

My post is to check if you as an outsider can observe such a thing. Let me know if you like it.

I know that I roll too much, that the rhythmic content is poor,  there is immense lack of structure and consistent development of voices. However it just came out like this.

Please give it to min 2:00 if you can. Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your feedback and let me know what I can improve!

Very good. It seems to me that the underlying spirit of much romantic music comprises a longing for a state other than present reality; either a time or entity which is irretrievably gone or an experience we long for but which lies beyond the grasp of our present state or perception. Many sections of my own improvisation lie within this emotional ambiance. I attach a similar example passage from my distant past. Keep exploring the impulse without inhibition, it will reward you later on. Don't worry about "rolling", whatever that is, or structure or consistency, I can't be bothered with them anyway these days at seventy-five. Yes, of course I can "observe" the deeper intention and no, I do not tell people what notes to play or how to "improve"; only you can do that for yourself.
 
Keep on improvising !

Hello Ted,

I hear what you mean when i listen to your posted excerpt, especially second part. I  could not express it but you nailed it "beyond the grasp of our present state or perception " and especially for "the distant past".

Thanks for listening and hear you soon.
