Rick Wakeman plays in a progressive rock genre.He composes songs with sample interments on the keyboard.In this video it shows him using a synthesiser,violin and vocal samples.The structure for this improvisation is unique form/structure I came to this conclusion because for the intro he used an aba form/structure but then he added different parts that does not confirm with the aba form.For this solo performance he uses classical melodies and arpeggios to create a classical and rock feeling,he also plays dynamics into his chords and harmonies in his improvisation. The time signature is a 4/4 because its played in a simple format.
