Improvising with background music

[mahlermaniac]

I am a long way off from trying, say any chamber or concerto pieces for piano. I have a hard time coordinating the hands at this point for both clefs, though I know that will come. But sometimes just for fun I'll do a little improvising with both hands and it sounds fairly pleasant to me. I thought I might like to do so with some string music or something playing on my iPod in the background.

Does anyone else do this? If so, what pieces have you used?

well sure.

I like Beethoven symph 7 3rd mvmt  -- plenty of room for improv
Fuare's Pavanne is cool--  Bach Air (on a G string) --Mozart Symph #40 1st mvmt is fun.  put that on your IPOD and play it.

I am bored and taking a break from practicing...I had better stop trolling on PS think I posted enough...
