I like the moving dissonance. the chords vs the running of notes together is very powerful. are you able to improvise like that then "switch" hands the one doing the chords is now doing the runs and the one doing the runs switches to chords?? or is it that only the one hand can do runs and the other chords?
the repeated chord with the wondering single notes going about their way is just so great --- I waa thinking like this with piano just before I listened here --- it was like you knew what I was thinking...
This is interesting - there is this hint of Debussy in the chords and melodies (especially in the first half) but they come across in an Ivesian fashion - as though through shattered glass. Thank you for another fantastic piece !
Repetitive single notes... I have always loved.. and the dissonances just perfect.. I feel that dissonance on a piano 🎹 is really good.. it's a kind of music I like more than a harmony and standard chords.. thanks for sharing this and playing.. wonderful 👍
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

I would love to come to a parlor concert that serves wine and the attendees listens to you improvise! Love this!
I agree with Bill - lovely!

Songs usually don't end like that.. such a strange feeling it has because of how it ends 🔚

such a foreboding piece - were you thinking about it being an election year here in the states?
