Carmen "Habanera" (Bizet) improvisation on piano

This is my interpretation of this famous theme on piano. The "Habanera" is an aria from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. The song is also sometimes known by its first two lines, "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle que nul ne peut apprivoiser".

Its melody, among the most famous in the Western musical tradition, is based on a descending chromatic scale followed by variants of the same phrase in first the minor and then the major key, corresponding with the vicissitudes of love expressed in the lyrics.

In this improvisation I used the two themes very freely. Have fun, I hope you like it!
