Improvisation on Piano - inspired by Kaladin from Stormlight Archive

[MusicalReader he/him]

A few days ago, I was rereading the Stormlight Archive, and I was suddenly hit with emotion when I read one of Kaladin’s POVs. I pondered for a bit, then I ran over to the piano and recorded my emotions. I thought I’d post it here to see if anyone was interested in a little Sanderson inspired improvisation. I’m sorry for the background noise and the poor audio quality! It’s the best I could do. I apologize for the length; I really didn't mean to make it this long. If you guys enjoy it, I might post a follow up with some more Sanderson inspired improv.

Perhaps I should improv some themes?

What should I improv? For whom should I improv?

I can't improv for the life of me. I really need to learn to do it one of these days.

Thank you! I think that it's definitely worth it to learn improv.

Does anyone have any critique? I'm always looking for feedback about my playing as well as any suggested ways to improve. Any comments are welcome and encouraged.

I thought it was really cool I was just curious what the chapter was that inspired this.

Thank you! I'm actually not sure which chapter it was; I know it was in Words of Radiance, and Kaladin was not feeling terrific, and it really hit home for me. Since then, I've already finished Words of Radiance and am now about halfway through Oathbringer as I'm a pretty fast reader.
