March 2015 – Day 26

This was one of my first ever recordings of piano improvisation. Up until 2008, I had improvised so much, but I had never thought to record. It had been my way of warming up at the keyboard, relaxing, or even practicing techniques. But that was all. I didn’t take it nearly as seriously as my classical training. Which is perhaps entirely appropriate.

So, here it is – my first attempt at recording. I had no idea what was going to happen when I hit the record button, and I guess I still don’t!

My friend Maggie was dancing to this improvisation. You can see a video of this and many other street piano performances on YouTube.
