David Bérubé - Composing something on the spot

In my concert, I ask someone in the audience to sing me a few notes, and with those few notes I try to make a new composition.

Thanx a lot Tommy I appreciate your comment, but you know what? In my case, nothing were prepared, it's only pure improvisation, I wouln't be able to play it twice exactly the same way. I was even afraid that nobody would raise his hand during this number lol, thanks God I was lucky that one lady did!!! Your english is very good.

Amazing. One day I hope to be as good as you, or even 1/10th of your talent.

1 year on and this still amazes me. I have more knowledge of Mozart's and Chopin's pieces since my first comment and these impromptu compositions are very akin to both. You are gifted with a wonderful talent.

I think he means that David made the melody at the end and just improvised the audience-given melody to fit in with his antecedent melody

i personally don't know if this is true but i think it is very possible and most likely that he composed on the spot..~
