Topic: A slightly crazy impro/variations on a famous children's song,

"If you’re happy and You Know it clap your hands"

A slightly crazy impro/variations on a famous children's song, with a slightly uneven tempo due to an aging pianoteqenthusiast. But I always, all the time, have ideas that are difficult to realize nowadays with a bit stiff fingers.

I think it's my eighth improvisation on famous children's songs.

Enjoy!

Re: A slightly crazy impro/variations on a famous children's song,

another fun performance!  i really like it when it starts to go off the rails (like the descending chords in whole steps).  i think crazy is good ... the crazier the better imo

Thanks budo for your comment. I like this: ”fun performance!  i really like it when it starts to go off the rails (like the descending chords in whole steps)”.


Yes, when I look for variations/improvising, strange crazy ideas are born sometimes and as I am an experimental type it must be tried out immediately. Some tests become permanent for the actual piece.
Thank you for encouragement and support 

Best wishes,

Stig, delightfully clever and packed with musical ideas and you give the variations a sense of direction.

Well done!
