improvisation on "Happy Birthday"

[TheVictorgall]

Gabriela Montero. Improvises a fantastic Happy Birthday for a girl in the Orchestra that was having her birthday.

G. Montero, from Venezuela, no doubt, is at the same musical heights of Chopin

Great job!!! I was wondering if you had the chord changes to this??? This is my favorite improv of happy B-DAY

[tutifornari]

hi, thanks for the comment... unfortunately I don't have any chord progression of it... I was only freely improvising, as I mostly do in all my piano solo videos. cheers!

[beateralex]

It's impossible. I wanna play this variations. It's very funny :X
