"Improvisation for Unrestored Harpsichord" is a short and mostly improvised piece. Some themes were partially and minimally notated in my hand written score. 

I recently acquired an old harpsichord that has no working keys, is out of tune, missing strings, and very dirty. I decided to play it as is. You can watch the video performance on my instagram or youtube.
