About the "Mysteria", his classical improvisations: "For many years I have striven to develop a style of classical improvisation. The art of improvising did not fare as well in classical as in popular and jazz musics in the last century. I am interested in helping to revive this lost art, once practiced by the great classical composers as readily as composition itself." Tip is open to relevant music-related questions from the audience!
