Left Hand Magic with George Ko!
-
- Classical Improviser
There are different levels of improvisation.
There’s Billy Joel.
There’s Aretha Franklin.
There’s Robert Levin.
Then there’s Mozart.
One distant characteristic that differentiates these improvisers is how they use the left hand. Classical music is all about crafting in the details, and composing creative journeys and destinations towards the final cadence, specifically in the left hand. This week we’ll look at ways to use the left hand to elevate your improvisations.

I have a conflicting meeting which may require me to drop out but will check it out afterwards.
I posted an Improv on the Week 2 thread with this link: https://youtu.be/AImgmarH6Xo .
it takes as inspiration some sections of Rachmaninoff's G Major Prelude, which I think is very improvisatory, for the reasons stated in the Week 2 thread.
