Strong imagery and very evocative of flowing water.  I like how you set the scene, then explore the numerous creatures and shapes in the aquarium.  Every so often you bring the listener back to the water as a perspective of the surroundings.  This piece has really good compositional flow and balance of foreground background elements. 

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

This is great!  Your playing technique is good enough to express the feelings and emotions of your improvisations.  To me, this is the most important thing. Rough around the edges adds to the charm.  Just keep doing what you are doing!   :)

P.S.  I miss being at the aquarium.  Hope to go again someday before I die.

Thank you lelle! I appreciate it a lot. I don't improvise in public. Somehow, I feel like ideas strike when they strike for me, and if I just sit down to improvise in front of people, I tend to churn out gibberish. It's only once every couple months that I end up improvising something like this recording...
