Derek plays the piece fluently, improvising in a stylistically persuasive way. He has a clear sense of the structure, with an introduction to the piece, an ornamented version of the theme and then improvisation over the harmonies, and a clearly defined ending. He clearly engages with the music and intuitively understands it as a narrative in sound, which has a distinct musical architecture, and makes sense as a whole. His musical maturity is shown in the stylistic sophistication and coherence of his improvisation, and his ability to make music persuasively with the professional band that provides the backing.
