Wlosok plays Chopin (Prelude Emi Opus 28 No 4). Original Theme and Improvised Variation.

a little fun time with one of my favorite romantic era composers. Chopin himself must have been a wonderful improviser. this piece given its length and clear harmonic progression which is derived primarily from three fundamental E minor scales (natural, harmonic, and melodic) asks to be expanded upon. here I've tried to capture a tiny bit while respecting Chopin's original song form. hoping to do more of this music into the future, including Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, and more Chopin. enjoy!

Improv over Debussy would be beautiful. I would love to hear that!

very well played! Is there a possibility to get the sheets for your improv if there are any?

[@allthatjazz4you]

sorry. there are no sheets. it's improvised in real time over the original sheet music, albeit I've analyzed its harmonic structure and added standard jazz chord symbols to it to help me "to see" the harmony structure while performing.

Nice improv! Do you think you’ll be doing anything else with the Chopin Preludes?
