Stig, this is wonderful. You seem to have unearthed a hidden talent you have for composing variations. Each one shows a different facet of the theme and you are able to make the music sound whole and unified.
Bravo! Well done!
My best,

another excellent job! i really liked the one in Db and the longer drifting one starting around 4:15 that carries it out. also the brief one with big spread out voicings moving in parallel started to sound like Red Garland ... just a few tweaks and it would be there.
it's obvious from listening to these that you've internalized a big vocabulary to draw from for improvising. any one of them could easily be turned into a longer performance. and i'm sure Beethoven would have approved, he was renowned for his ability to improvise (or so i've always heard). i certainly hope you will continue to do more.
