Kalevala mood (piano improvisation on Finnish folk song)

Improvisation on a Finnish folk song - This was a request from the comments on my previous video!
Väinämöinen is a central hero in the Kalevala, Finland's national epic. He´s a wise, tough guy with magical powers. J.R.R. Tolkien is known to have been deeply influenced by the Kalevala, with Väinämöinen being a major inspiration for the character of Gandalf.
The Finnish folk song 'Vaka Vanha Väinämöinen' (Grand Old Väinämöinen) features a lovely 5/4 time signature. While I feel much more at home with completely free improvisation or music outside my own cultural heritage, this made it even more important to explore this folk song.
Thanks for all the comments I've received! I'm happy to have connected with so many interesting improvisers through KZbin!
