What instrument did you play and why?
I picked the piano because I have past experience with the instrument.
What song did you choose to play and why?
I decided to play Autumn Leaves by Joseph Kosma, a jazz piece in G major. I picked Autumn Leaves because not only is it a nice jazz tune, but because it makes extensive uses of major and minor II, V, I chord progressions, which are easy to improvise over.
Were you happy with your performance? Explain.
I feel like while I played the song well, I could've played it better. I lost time after a certain chord change that involves moving up an octave. I hesitated while I was playing this chord, and it left a gap in the bassline.
If you had to do it again, what would you change?
I would've been more diverse in my improvisation, and taken more breaks. Looking back on my performance, I tended to play a constant melody, taking no breaks to let the bassline shine. and used the sustain pedal to make the gap between chords more seamless.
