All Montero improvisations on NPR can be found here, for now. She even tackles "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," our baseball game war horse. I hope you enjoy it.

This is impressive and beautiful act of creation. Someone calls into NPR, sings a phrase of a song, and then classical pianist, Gabriela Montero, improvises. Click here then click the "Hear the Session" speaker icon. Will take you Bach.

I loved this. I immediately went to iTunes and bought one of her cd's. Thank you, John.
Amazon has a great deal on her double album - one CD clasical and other improvisation.
I hjave decided my typios are imporvisations, get it, that was supposed to be a period not a comma.
Here's a great phrase I learned in art school, when showing a new piece off to somebody: "It's supposed to be like this." So you're right on there!
Here's another, "It's an experiment."
I thought your typos were part of your creative process. :-)
I like iTunes because I seem to only listen to my iPod lately. We have a playing dock for it, and I can also plug it into the TV sound system.
Got to love NPR! and now I must go to Amazon and purchase Gabriela Montero. I was amazed they were both from Park Slope and rode the same train. Living parallel lives. Sad ending for the songbird and I liked the unsual sound of the song.
