I've been improvising for over 10 years now. It's something that will always be embedded in my mind, and it's something I'm constantly working to improve on. My best advice would be to START ASAP. Just like anything else, it's all about practice. When it comes to improv, you just need to sit down, and make stuff up on the top of your head.

Tip: If you hear a harmony, chordal voicing, or technique you really like, or learned one in a piece you performed, figure out what it is, and then replicate it in EVERY key. After this, congratulations! You have successfully added a new skill to your musical toolbox. Now pull it out whenever you want when you improvise!

Repeat forever.

'Favorite' questions have always been hard for me, but I will try my best to answer. When it comes to piano composition, Chopin wins hands down. When it comes to video game music, it's Nobuo, Koji Kondo, and Grant Kirkhope. Orchestral it's Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, amongst MANY others.
