About Compositional Improvisations
I perform for live online audiences 2+ times a week in the online virtual world Second Life. You may find more full improvisations by me here:
soundclick.com/gregoryhall
These classical or compositional improvisations for the piano are driven by a desire to create spontaneous music that is new yet accessible.
The improvisations—informed as they are by my own written work as a composer, and not merely by older styles of classical music—are performed in the virtuoso spirit of the great composer/pianists of the early twentieth century (Scriabin, Messiaen). Because Scriabin is such a large influence, I want to think of my improvs as little pieces of his "Mysteria"--a largely improvised, unfinished work--thus "Mysteria Improvisations".
The Yamaha in most of these videos is a "grantouch"; that is, it has the complete action of a true grand, but the hammers hit sensors instead of strings. A "hybrid", and I think the piano of the future (best of both worlds).

I am a classical composer who has always improvised. Since improvisation is not generally taught to classical composers, I have had to invent my own style to some extent.As my improvs are often 12 minutes or longer, some of these videos are excerpts of larger works; some are complete.
