That's a serious production set up!  Were you recording some regular pieces and tossed this off?
You're clearly a very accomplished pianist.

I wouldn't say this is an improvisation of a concept - more like a few juxtaposed dramatic themes, mostly on minor and diminished harmonies - so yes, Beethoven harmonies.  Taking a quick break from recording something else it seems.

Hi thanks, it has been a pleasure to read your comment.
first of all I am always glad to read some warm and noble language. I am Italian and I live in Paris, so French is my second language. But I am discovering deeper the English too.
I am glad that you are able to see my process, and yes it came to me suddenly during several kind of improvisations. I have many more ones, of this classical-romantic influenced style, that I will share soon.
Just for explaining more about my playing, I started to play piano when I was a little child, then I played a lot of electric guitar (rock blues mostly) and finally I have been focused on piano until now. During  six years I have been focused only on my concertist activity and after that I chose to record a lot of improvisations. I am going to record my interpretation of the great composers (classical music). Please keep in touch. I will play in Los angeles next year.
I hope you are doing great and you are expressing all your emotions and feelings with the piano. I wish you all the best.

best regards
Giovanni Gorelli
