Improvisation in D minor

This is an improvisation on a theme I had stuck in my head, an ear worm. In my minds ear it was a fugue subject sung by a choir. I don't know if going from d minor to e7 in 3rd inversion at the beginning of a theme is original. It does give the idea a forward tilt and restlessness which I liked.

This second improvisation is more personal in that i was expressing how i felt. I had no theme but found one as I played.

heeey, Papa's back...  I love when you post these

That second improv is magic. It's interesting how we can find what we're really trying to say during an improv. It's become my favorite way to start pieces lately. 

I really like these pieces.
I don't know exactly what you mean by improvisation.... Well it all sounds very coherent and unified.
The second one is quite a bit more emotional and the first one more technical.

Thank you for listening to my music. They are improvisations meaning I just make it up as I go along. I do it everyday at the piano and sometimes I record them. Some are more coherent than others.

I'll upload another. When I played the first chord it felt like the beginning of a sonata so I continued with that in mind. I can be experimental with my ideas and you just don't know whether they'll work until you try them. A trill between a major third high on the piano ended up sounding like an old fashioned phone ringing! Lol. I play plenty of bum notes too. Ideas from previous improvisations come up too. 

I listened to your 2nd improvisation.  What an immaculate and delicate piano sound you manage to get out of your piano!  Many live recordings often end up sounding very coarse because the pianos sound bad when recorded (almost augmenting how out of tune and dry they sound - but your piano surprisingly sounds very in tune and reverberates quite nicely in whatever chamber you recorded it in).  Great job and I'm glad you're back to making music once again!
