g minor / c minor are intense and dramatic keys - exciting stuff !

if you want to improve your tonal control, Bach probably would help, providing you focus on that while practicing

I like this one, with its Eastern phrases and rhythms. Rather a pity it didn't go on longer and expand all over the piano, I could take a lot more of this sort of stuff.

Thank you, Ted! The rest of the improvisation was worse in comparison. I thought this section was interesting as well. You seem to have a preference for Eastern melodies; I have to wonder if this is grounded in some sort of objective value. Or is it perhaps simply because it's more novel?

Thank you for your feedback. I think there is a lot of value in studying Bach. I sometimes wonder if it can be limiting to take too much from formal theory and standard styles. Maybe you might start developing a preference against parallel fifths simply from familiarity, for example, while in reality it's a perfectly acceptable sound.

Might be, might not be, I haven't the slightest idea about that. Preferences come and go over the years; some last a long time, others are gone by morning. I am content to just play what makes me happy and leave analysis to somebody else.
