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.

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.

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.

@@ER-je3fd 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.

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've done this same game in living rooms at parties, it's fun to do. If you've played for hours and hours like I have (and she has) and let yourself go, it gets easier. What's interesting is that people pay more attention to it than anything else, it's like you're walking a tightrope or something. Or maybe something profound will happen.

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!

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.

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!
