Heard the end of Mahler 8 on the radio today, and it made me think about romantic chromatic harmony. This isn't easy to improvise, and what I've done sounds more like Schubert (when it doesn't go wrong), but doing it has given me some ideas. The key is the 'passionate' nature of this sort of harmony... what is it about it that evokes such a bodily response? I think Bateson has something to contribute here with his ideas on Schizmogenesis...
1st version better (but not brilliant!)
than this one...
