Tony's comment below correctly hilightes the greatest danger and
the most severe error of improvisors; i.e., the soloist will
begin to believe that the purpose of improvisation is to shine
the spotlight on him or her, instead of the music.

Tony wirtes:

There is a further danger: if not well-motivated, rubato and
embellishment can very easily take the attention of the listener
off the music and put it
on to the performer *as a personality*. For the drooling fans,
this may not be a problem whatever the piece, because their
attention is *already* off
the music. But for many of us, for quite a lot of repertoire,
that's NOT what we want--)
