Composer/organists like [[Bach]] and [[Handel]] were famous improvisors. Even today, a good church organist will improvise before the service or during the collection. Choirs have been known to "set a tune" for the organist to play - an example would be variations on "Happy Birthday to you" played in the style of a Bach [[prelude|chorale prelude]] on the birthday of the minister's wife.
[[Actor]]s also sometimes improvise. Some [[comedy]] troupes base their entire act on improvising.
