There are the thingz that the compozer wrote that should be azpired to

Dunno I suppose the mechanics of the music help you figure out an effective dramatic path but just calling out the mechanics like that’s the music can be troubling - the flip side is once you go beyond that you def in the personal opinion space not letter of law composer space.

Oddly enough would this apply, for example, to Rach? “You play your Rach 3 your way…I’ll play it his way.” It sounds a lot more ridiculous considering that it would entail replicating the actual recording by the composer.
