Spontaneous composition is music performed, occurring, or resulting from a sudden natural impulse, tendency, or inclination; without effort or premeditation; natural and unconstrained; unplanned.[1]
Spontaneity in music is mostly associated with improvised music and jazz, but through the course of the last century it became practiced in other genres as well.
Improvisation is one possible compositional tool used in creating a spontaneous composition.[2]
Keith Jarrett, an American pianist, is known for his work, which is almost exclusively based on improvisation. Keith Jarrett considers spontaneity to be an essential element of his music. He never writes musical notations for his works and makes no plans before a performance.[3]
