  1. Richard Grayson is considered by many to be the best non-jazz improviser alive. You can check many videos of improvised performances here http://www.youtube.com/user/improvelectronic. He accepts any requests from the audience to take either an original theme or a piece by a composer and play it in a period style or int the manner of another composer; for example "Rite of Spring" in the style of Mozart >
  2. You could think of it like as a motif, such as the "and-two-and-one" rhythmic motif from Beethoven's 5th.

    stretto probably, in that case.
  4. Actually I've never noticed this technique in classical music, although there is something called a Coda, which is a sort of short recap, or punctuation at the end. But for jazz and pop music, these riffs as you call them are sometimes called a vamp, or just repeat and fade, if this is the case. One example that comes to mind is "King of Pain" by the Police.

    ostinato. music on which the technique is based can be called a passacaglia or chaconne depending on the role of the ostinato and other things. if other parts copy the same figure at a different beat or pace and each part plays repetitively it's called a canon.
