Piano Improvisation - July 13, 2020

Mistakes are normal. Imperfection is beautiful. Happy Accidentals are improvisations by Patrick Hockberger. Notebook: Didn’t really have anything to start with, so just noodled. Accidentally jumped to an interesting chord and started repeating it. A legit song begins at 1:28. Reminiscent of a song from The Flash that a student sang at a voice recital. Integrated the melody from July, 10- how much of these improvisations are quoting ideas from previous improvisations? I think a lot. Nothing complicated happens melodically or melodically, but the secret is, the simpler music is, the more it frees up the performer’s attention to play it as beautifully and expressively as possible. This one’s a keeper.
