Improvisation for Classical Musicians Eric Edberg’s commentary and resources for classicial musicians who improvise, or want to.

Here’s a great video (well, it’s a talking-head segment with great content), titled “Improvisation and Canon inWestern Music” in which musicologist Susan McClary discusses the decline of improvisation during the nineteenth century as the canon of “great works” grew.  It’s from ArtistHouse Music, which turns out to have lot of improvisation videos (as well as a wealth of videos on other music and music-career related subjects).  If there’s a way to embed ArtistHouse videos, I wasn’t able to figure it out in the 30 seconds I tried.
