i'm very happy to notice madame nadia's use of musical material - the third one is a stunning arrangement for one of her three pieces for cello&piano. glad to discover organ music with such a simple, but profound composition

[@aidanminushkin2179]

The second one is also from her three pieces for cello and piano, great arrangements.

[@nigelhaywood9753]

What gorgeous music! Her compositions should be better known I think.

[@klangschatten5610]

[@antoningilbert1615]

improvisations? IMPROVISATIONS? like, she did that on stage and someone wrote it down?

[@GNGianopoulos]

Unlikely - it is a moderately common title for concert works that has a spontaneous character to them. There is also some ambiguity as to whether the piece is officially called 'Trois Pieces' or 'Trois Improvisations'

[@antoningilbert1615]

@@GNGianopoulos interesting! So a performer would have a little liberty, but om what?

[@GNGianopoulos]

No, there is no liberty and the score should be followed strictly!

[@antoningilbert1615]

@@GNGianopoulos that's weird... Thanks a lot for answering my questions!

[@GNGianopoulos]

The title 'Improvisation' is not meant to be taken literally, rather, it implies a character of the music.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

i gonna ask her out

[@maxgregorycompositions6216]

She died in '79.

You must like the moody, pensive, saturnine type.
