Wow. This is amazing, Yuval! Tenderly is one of my all-time favorite songs. I am a fellow piano player but not nearly at your skill level. I took nine years of lessons beginning in Kindergarten and can play sheet music well and also improvise my own music. But those beautiful runs you do all in the right chord and key. Amazing. You aren't even thinking about what you are playing! I would love to play that way but I don't have a piano at my house and have two children running around at all times. There isn't much time in my life to practice. Do you have any words of wisdom or ideas on how to get better? Especially improvisationally?
+henateme1977 Thanks for the comment, I am happy you liked it. I am afraid I cannot give much advice about how to master an instrument without regular practice. I do however would like to emphasize one thing: I find, both as a player and as a teacher, that when something seems effortless ("not even thinking", as you wrote it), it's actually an indication of the opposite. It is usually a result of a lot of hard work and conscious effort to improve something. When someone is talented in something, he has a great head-start, yet in order to master it, he still has to work hard. It is exactly the hard work (or long work) that enables the playing to be "automatic" and "effortless". Other than that, I find that it all starts from simple things. if you want to play "runs in the right chord and key", first master playing slow lines like that. If that's an issue, practice playing short lines (4-notes?) that you like. Later you can connect the short lines to long ones, and after that the velocity will come by itself since you know how to play them. It will not work the other way around... Good luck, and please share this video. Thanks, Yuval

Incredible Yuval!! World class skills!
Improvisational passages are somewhat reminiscent of Adam Makowicz, somewhat of Shopin ballads. Wonderful!
