Improvisations on The Ledge

1) A Mostly Non-Fiction Musical Memoir (with music); 2. Random Rants on Music

Author: PETER SALTZMAN

In "Improvisations on the Ledge," award-winning composer-pianist Peter Saltzman searches for universal truths by stumbling upon themboth with words and music. The basic premise is simple: he improvises on the piano, then talks about what the music tells him. Then makes music about what the talking tells him. Then...well, it goes on like this. Droll, funny, dramatic, musical, short. petersaltzman.substack.com

But you can still listen to it in the car if you either lack the time or inclination to watch.Improvisations on the Ledge (IOTL) – Back on the Ledge (Pilot Episode) Improvisations on the Ledge is back—this time live.

This flagship pilot, Back on the Ledge, traces the history of the podcast, why I stopped, why I’ve returned, and why improvisation matters more than ever—as both protest and practice, art and survival. 🌐 Learn more, see the schedule, and explore all shows at: https://improvisationsontheledge.com Four Formats of IOTL * Improvisations on the Ledge – flagship show (live version of the podcast, with visuals) FreePlay – radical reinterpretations of standards from Bach to the Beatles and beyond, plus some originals (with vocals) * The Improvised Sonata – longform piano improvisations.
