Piano Improvisation Number 2

AlterEgo_UK

My second live piano improvisation using Pure Piano. This time with a single take recording (and a tiny bit of midi editing to remove a couple of mis-hit notes).

Lovely piano melody, quite romantic and sentimental.
The beauty of piano is highlighted, and I love it.
Thank you for this beauty.

Thank you so much, @ReneAsologuitar . I am enjoying making these improvs. The piano can be so expressive (as can guitar, of course) but a full length piano only tune is still something new for me.

Keep up the good work, Colin. I use midi editing, too. Making a “perfect” improvisation does happen but it’s great to be able to alter a few notes you just wish hadn’t popped out. I also edit the velocities as I go and ride the volume as I mixdown the part. Two shots at creating the right dynamics after the original improv can really help. I look for a wide range of volume contrast in my stuff.

My teacher, Connie Crothers, taught me a great technique to expand my melodic improvisational skills. It transformed my playing. You might have read it, but here is the link….

Very nice track… looking forward to your next piece… not sure Chris Packham would have been happy with the sound of song birds when a Greater Spotted Woodpecker was hammering the tree though 😊
