    Hi Mr. Bullard. The notes you played in M7 differ from those in the book. You played CEGBA. While the book says CEGA. Is this a publishing typo or should we play as written. Am asking because I have ABRSM exam students who are also listening to your recording and I wanted to explain the discrepancy. (For the record, C7 to A sounds prettier IMHO)

    1) This beggin in a sort of fugue, maybe canon, some themes are evolveing in a strange and really particular way, the improv is well structured, theres some cuts to play some notes, I can ear sometimes super good note sequences. 2) it begins easly, then some complex -maybe 7th- chords, again, the theme come again, and after that, chords, this is structured nicely, this 2nd improv is calm. It continue to evolve to finnish on 4 chords, 3 low and 1 high, pretty complex, it's kind of jazz 3) Speaking of Jazz... Again, the melodie is complex, well mastered, sound like a film music, sometimes 2 same melodies on both hands, somtime, a rich blend between the melody and the left hand, I didnt speak about the rythm, it's awesome, and kept perfectly as long as the music is during, there are some break with up and down the scale, and it ends well with the rest of the melody I can just say, *well done!* The rythm, the melody, the left hand, the music made by the 2 hand work, all this stuff is perfect and really nice to listen. How long have you been playing piano and training improvs? I wonder if one day, I'll be able to improvise music like that^^ PS: sorry if I don't speak rly good, I'm french
