Tony, I respectfully beg to differ on this point.

How can one *not* put their feelings into it? When I play, the piece itself affects me. This causes me to be emotional at some parts, perhaps less so at others, and I find that this provides a sort of feedback which affects the manner in which I interpret and play it. If this didn't happen wouldn't all performances sound the same except for differences in technical capability?
