In the current (August 31) issue of The New Yorker, Alex Ross has an
article called "Taking Liberties: Reviving the art of classical
improvisation". He points out that while modern musicians specializing
in the Renaissance and the Baroque have been leaders in improvisation,
the idea of adding unwritten material to Classical and Romantic works
is becoming more common. Perhaps conservatories will begin giving more
emphasis to this skill in their curriculae.
