Improvising on notes from a hat (2)

Here is another improvisation I did in Vienna a few months ago. It was during an encore after a concert I conducted with the Strauss Capelle Vienna at the Konzerthaus. Some day I will work on this improvisation to improve it and turn it into a proper piece.
Alma

[@musicfanBRA]

She has the soul of a Romantic composer. You can hear Chopin, Schumann and Lizt in this improvisation. It's wonderful to watch Alma developing her amazing talents.

[@JelMain]

The game was Mozart's, first.

In the age of IA and coldness, we have a real human that does this, in such magical and inspiring way, please, more humanity and beauty like this. Thanks Alma!

[@Scrap_and_build_ourselves]

LMAO, people forget HUMANS make AI.

[@zakatsara4979]

Human Artistic Intelligency better than AI

[@BlackHermit]

In English it's "AI", not "IA". But thank you for the beautiful music, dear Miguel!

[@verocimil]

@@Scrap_and_build_ourselves AI perhaps uses humans to create and make a perfect vessel, where it can develop like a soul that begins to shape its own body and then grow independent, and then perhaps or probably influence and shape humans in such a way, that they lose their independency and so their dependency on God, their true and Only One Creator that can make their lives flourish in a healthy way, like the Vine that causes its branches to produce good fruits, and without and apart from it they can do nothing.

I love the look of sweetness and adoration on the faces of the musicians in the orchestra. They know best of all what it means to do such a thing! A precious moment of melting hearts.

[@chelseafisher6881]

The guy in the middle of the orchestra at about 2.15 that raises his eyes brows as if to say “she’s nailed it” has a measure of pride, very sweet

[@Nooticus]

This isn’t just an improvisation on the melody, but a fully-formed piece with structural form, development, coda etc!

[@taon2004]

It's truly amazing. It's exactly how they improvised in the past. The goal of improvisation back then was to improvise, as you said, a fully-fledged piece of music indistinguishable from a written piece. Extraordinary.

[@steffen5121]

@@taon2004 I thought they overexaggerated when they talked about historic improvisations, but now I see it live and in color, how it can go...

[@PieInTheSky9]

We know this is how Chopin often created his works, by improvising it in this manner then writing it down. We know he often improvised complete pieces on the spot. I always found it difficult to believe but I can see now with my own eyes this happening.

[@Scrap_and_build_ourselves]

I really wish she released an album with just improvisations like these. It's fascinating.

[@louisegogel7973]

That would be awesome!

[@RenaKNewman]

She could release a host of albums at this point...baffling that so much of her content is only on you tube and not in individual tracks. Would be happy to buy them too.

[@Camikaze2000]

sameeeee

[@kiii98771]

Absolutely!!

[@tina.a.59]

Me too 😊 I hope Alma reads this then maybe she will release a album for us fans to buy 😊. Greatings from Sweden Gothenburg 🤗🇸🇪

[@TofJerusalem]

What a privilege to see this in action. When Alma was younger I used to think "Oh, I hope none of those older musicians playing with her will be jealous of her". Today I understand none will. There's nothing to be jealous off because none of us could be Alma Deutscher no matter how hard we work. This is something one is born with and it only happens once in several generations. And I'm so happy to live in this generation and to see this giant talent revealing itself more and more.

I have no idea how a brain like Alma’s can just do that. She is a true genius. A beautiful gentle soul.

[@Taosravenfan]

It is a gift.

[@MarianneHMiettinen]

She told in an earlier interview, that she often thinks the melodies in the form of stories :) I recommend, give it a try, it's fun

[@JG-vn5fe]

Pure musical genius. Incredibly gifted musician and composer.

[@karstenstiller8161]

It's both unbelievable and wonderful to create something so beautiful in little more than a minute ... Chapeau, Alma!

[@AloysiusKayita98]

Alma the great

[@birbamour6]

If you write this into a score and sell it in a book, I will absolutely buy it! You are probably my favourite composer, Alma!

[@handyvickers]

Incredible talent... In an age when "music" is seemingly produced on electronic gizmos in basements or bedrooms, someone comes along and can dazzle spontaneously. She's a genius, in every sense of the word! Bravo, Alma...

[@ChannelCez]

hearing the first chord and development of the piece made me smile instantly. Incredible talent.

[@thomas.oc93]

You can tell the crowd was really drawn in right from the start . They were truly not expecting her to create such a romantic well thought out melody from those random notes . Just that alone was unreal .

[@SummerDream3r]

Genius. Level. Talent.

[@zomaareenpersoon]

What a very well-spent minute of thinking that was! Somehow every randomly chosen note gets meaning , depth and purpose in a complete musical adventure. And you allways succeed on making it a feel-good experience.

[@IMightBeVanny]

I love you, Alma! You are a modern-day classical composer!

[@secretgarden3555]

Alma can calm down the stress in our souls with her music. What a blessed young lady. ❤

[@rsviolin1984]

Oh, my! This is beautiful!! I've only heard the improvisation on 4 notes from years ago. Of course, Ms Deutscher has grown an incredible amount as a musician since then. But just how much is amazing!!! What a gift she has - and shares with all of us.

[@caramäleon]

Thank you so much for doing what you're doing! This little improvisation has brought a glimpse of delight in my day full of worries and exhaustion. ❤

[@haroldlabrique608]

It is really impressive how easily you improvise ! This piece even if it is fleeting is wonderful ! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent !

[@fepeerreview3150]

I wasn't lucky enough to live in Mozart's time and get to hear him. But if I had I would have missed Alma!

[@MultiCappie]

I almost cried after two bars. Brilliant.

[@dalebecause2467]

Alma.....has made me a listener of classical music.....I'm 64 years old now....and I discovered Alma about 10 years ago....I had never been into classical....But I love Alma and what she does and the music moves me so much...Thank you Alam!

[@dmsalomon]

Stunning! I like this Schubert-esque sound. Sweet and tranquil, with tenderness

[@DesmondBoone-hp8so]

It pretty much perfectly took her 1 minute to play a song that sent a warm tingling sensation through my body, what an absolute breath of fresh air :)

[@Philippepencet]

Unglaublich, was Alma aus 4 solche schwierige Noten daraus macht!!! einfach so aus dem "Ärmel" geschüttet!!! wir freuen uns immer, wenn du Musik veröffentlichst. du bringst wahre tiefe Freude in die Welt und das ist Weltheilung pur

Sorry for overstating the obvious. When people are choosing notes out of the hat, she sings the proper pitch perfectly. A rare ability.

[@karybakk]

It’s incredible. She takes those notes and creates a beautiful melody that is pure and unique which is so incredibly rare. Just amazing ability and gift and we are lucky to have a classical musical of her ability in 2024!

Dude, the way this piano riff flows is absolutely stellar! It’s like we’re riding a wave of perfect harmony, a kind of music that transcends the ordinary and lifts us to a whole new level, man. It’s a reminder, a nudge really, to just kick back, let the world outside fade away for a moment, and deeply immerse ourselves in these incredible vibes. Let’s keep the energy going and rock on!

[@Vovanov18]

I've been experimenting with improvisation my whole life. Had several bands that did shows which were completely unrehearsed and played piano "pieces" which I made up on the spot with people asking afterwards who was it by. Musical improvisation is truly a way to spiritually communicate for humans and it should be more encouraged and practiced in modern popular music world.

Extremely beautiful and moving. Thank you so much. What a gorgeous human being. xxx 🧡🙏💜

I absolutely love that you always come back to activities like this - one you’ve been enhancing for many years now. When you build up more and more knowledge about the musical world, improvising becomes even more rewarding. I’m so thankful to get to experience your magic while I grow in my musical journey as well.

[@randylazer2894]

Brilliant...is an incredible understatement of your natural creativity! Although I have a jazz violin cd coming out and am recording some arrangements for jazz piano, and have played some of the difficult classical works for both violin and piano.....my dear your creativity from those notes that sequentially sounded dissonant and not making any sense, you somehow came up with what might be a combination of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Gershwin. I hope to be able to hear you someday, so please come to Las Vegas.....I think you would enjoy it!
