Improvising on Bach? Yes, why not? What I do here is take the first prelude in his Well-Tempered Clavier and play what is meant to be played in two hands in my left hand. Then, I improvise over it in my right.

This comes from my album - Blues, Preludes, Feuds: https://songwhip.com/petersaltzman/blues-preludes-and-feuds-14

There are three other examples on that album of me messing with Bach.

A Well-Tempered Bubble
Original Music and Poem by Jennifer L. Jones

I created a bubble 
A bubble to protect me 
… to help me sleep
… that’s unbreakable
… to carry me far away
… well-tempered
… that breathes
… filled with hope 
… there for me 
A Bubble 
… to catch me when I burst…

A Well-Tempered Bubble

In the echoes of space and time, there exists a synthetic world where great composers orchestrate their eternal harmonies as cats.

There you landed, my dear friend.

Long story short: everything from solo piano to pop to orchestral film.  I wish I could focus on one thing but can't because I'm a MUSICIAN.

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!

If you have time, check out my first music book called Music Dreams: Six Original Pieces for Solo Piano through Barnes & Noble.  I welcome your feedback.  Here is a link in case you are interested. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/music-dreams-jennifer-l-jones/1143986955?ean=9798891455641

I’m into generating alternative MIDI edited and MIDI created interpretations of solo piano music in the classical repertoire.
