Thanks for documenting your process, very useful. enjoyed the dramatic reconstruction haha.
I think that’s the way improv always turns out for me. It’s hard to internalise material well enough for it to emerge in true improvisation. Usually takes me about six months lol

Yes you are right I think. I did improvise some things I was working on 6 months ago, which I thought were lost to the 'debris of my failing brain'. haha :) Thanks for your reactions!
So your 5 minute impro sounds like what would take me probably 5 days 😅

Well, to be fair, i have been working on solo baroque improvisation for many years :). So then there is a big basis to start from. And I was vice versa surprised by my problems with the modulations. Luckily there is always more to learn in the world ❤️

By the way! What instrument do you play? Can we hear some of your improvisations?

I'm playing piano but I haven't published anything. I improvise very freely or more exactly chaotic 😅 No one will listen to it, it's more a therapy and relaxation for myself 😂

By the way, why is it a problem if you end up in another key? I thought it didn't matter as long as you get back to the theme?

@@AmeeliaK this is amazing! I improvise a lot on the piano in this way. Especially when I was a teenager it was super important for me in the way you describe it too: therapeutical, I likened it to writing in a diary. I wanted to make a video about this aspect as well, but not sure yet how.. any ideas? :)
