'Freestyle'.. were you improvising on the spot?
Are you aware that there's software available that 'as' you compose at the keyboard, it creates(types) notes on a staff (sheet music), creating a score of your work. Stores it. You can edit as you wish.

If you'd like, you could duplicate this thread's music piece over in Yellow Wax. We've had people not only leave writings, but photos of art work, and musical compositions.

You may be already familiar with this piece.

(music) Trois Gymnopedies (Erik Satie, piano)
[9:13] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyUNbrgLezI

YT NOTES posted: by Jessiemelodieworld k
* The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888,
are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie.

These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure.
Collectively, the Gymnopédies are regarded as an important
precursor to modern ambient music —
gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. [citation needed]
. .
For instance, the first few bars of Gymnopédie No. 1
consist of an alternating progression of two major seventh chords,
the first on the subdominant, G,
and the second on the tonic, D.

The melodies of the pieces use deliberate, but mild, dissonances against the harmony, producing a piquant, melancholy effect that matches the performance instructions, which are to play each piece "painfully", "sadly" or "gravely".

From the second half of the 20th century on,
the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Satie's body of furniture music,
perhaps because of John Cage's interpretation of them.

* Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (pronounced: [eʁik sati])
(signed his name Erik Satie after 1884)
{TAURUS} (17 May 1866, Honfleur -- 1 July 1925, Paris)
was a French composer and pianist.

Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde.
His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as
minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.

An eccentric, Satie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887,
shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies.

Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrician"
(meaning "someone who measures sounds")
preferring this designation to that of a "musician",
after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician"
in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.

In addition to his body of music,
Satie also left a remarkable set of writings,
having contributed work for a range of publications,
from the dadaist 391
to the American culture chronicle Vanity Fair.

Although in later life he prided himself on always publishing his work under his own name, in the late nineteenth century he appears to have used pseudonyms such as 'Virginie Lebeau' and 'François de Paule' in some of his published writings.

@Galactic, I am the one standing on the statue, though it’s an old photo.

@mirage, thanks for sharing words on the classical works. I’m particularly fond of Schumann these days. And the pianist Idil Biret http://youtu.be/whI5XSG3sc8

Here’s Trois Gymnopedies by Gary Numan: http://youtu.be/acId5ftnjnE

@chanterelle was not me, though kind of you to associate.

Robert Schumann was a Gemini Sun!

First piece I immediately think of relating to Schumann is this one.
"Of Foreign Lands and People".. {{like Austria? }}
(music) Schumann: Von fremden Ländern und Menschen (Martha Argerich)
[2:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1_Yjqj9xSY

One of his more-familiar pieces is this.
(music) Schumann Piano Concerto in A minor
(Martha Argerich & Riccardo Chailly, 2014)

The Gary Numan interpretation of the Satie is different. Applies an electronic slidewhistle treatment to it?.

Austria is RICH in Beauty, Classical Music. Opera. 'The Sound of Music' was filmed there.
Loved the movie, Amadeus. LOL
A personal friend had won a music competition in USA, and received a scholarship to study abroad in Austria.

Well either way, it definitely does relate since its the chart ruler.

I have a friend with Cancer Rising that looks a bit like you. Her Moon is in Virgo and she has Capricorn Uranus and Saturn opposed her ASC. She also varies quite a bit from the archetypal Cancer Rising looks. She has strong Portuguese background and is darker (and slimmer and taller) than archetypal Cancer. Indicated by her ruler being in Virgo, and the Capricorn Uranus and Saturn opposed her ASC degree.
