It's well known that many classical music performers can't improvise worth a shit ;/ (they usually even admit it)
The main goal tends to be different. Jazz is almost completely improvise oriented. (One starts to improvise almost immediately)
Classical music is more about performance(to a level of perfection) and little to do with improvising.
Those that compose and perform classical music would naturally tend to be much better improvisers but those that just perform and do not compose tend to have little understanding of ability. They mainly are recorders that memorize a piece of music and play it back. (I'm not talking about the extremes here but the average)
