Improvisation & Spontaneous Line Endings 🎶

Improvisation: My favorite endings of lines are the ones that appear spontaneously while improvising—they have a certain freshness that pre-composed endings lack.

This tihai (3 times ending motif) appeared nicely at just the right moment, after my first idea for a tihai needed an addendum to reach the ‘sum’ (downbeat).
