Improv in C Maj (Ab Maj)

Download the MP3 here: http://www.4shared.com/audio/i4fBxaU-/Improv_in_C_Maj__Ab_Maj_.html


The title is pretty descriptive.

This is just a glimpse of how I spend a large portion of my free time. I like to play just as much as I like to compose. :)

Now, about the listing of two keys in the title- My fingers were playing in C Major, however, I tuned the individual piano samples included in the patch down 4 half-steps, meaning that what you're actually hearing is in the key of A Major. Also note, though, that it's not EXACTLT A major- I changed it up a little here and there.

You will also hear what some would call "mistakes"- some notes are a bit off. That's okay. I know, I promise. :) It's all for fun, and I don't intend to ever play piano professionally.

Bjorn, thanks for that lovely comment! I'm really glad that you enjoy my playing so much in spite of its many mistakes and imperfections. And yeah, the left is rather simple- mostly just octaves and fifths. And I suppose anything requires some practice, but to improvise, all you really have to do is stay in the key and (kind of) in rhythm. As you can see, I play a lot with tempo and meter. Just feel your through it, and if you make a mistake, make it again, so it doesn't look like a mistake. ;)

@goney3 You're quite welcome. Thank you for listening. :) Now, about this ccmixter- what is it? And how could I benefit from using it?

You lost some weight since you're first videos :D

[moondoggy385]

@Xterminatorbond Haha! Actually, I haven't. If anything, I've gained. And I've not gotten taller, so I don't know what the poop is up.

It's quite a while ago you posted this, but it never gets boring! The melodies sound fantastic, and the left hand just looks very simple... I have no idea how people can improvise like this... I guess it's years of practise, like they say, but still... And I just love the ending. It emphasises you're improvising, and it gives a little funny twist to a wonderful video!! I hope you won't stop doing what you are, because you are amazing! -3

Love,

Björn ;)

bro love it i know where only a fraction of your passion comes from and its beautiful i actually cried listening to this and for that i thank you. the boss

[guy007man]

I personally think your improvisations are much more passionate, enjoyable, meaningful, and beautiful than your compositions (which are still at a caliber of brilliance that many people, including myself, wish they could attain). Loved it, obviously, and keep up the having fun
