One of the difficult issues for a composer is that s/he must rely on others to interpret what was intended. A painter or sculptor can submit to the public exactly what s/he intends. We don't go to the museum and say, "I think Picasso would have loved to have used some red there, maybe he ran out, I am going to add it in." It doesn't matter that we might like it better that way.
I agree with the statements by many here that we are responsible to play what the composer wrote. It is a shame that there are many who feel that this would be boring. I can think of many recordings that are meticulous about detail and are stunning in their excitement and beauty. (Many by Szell and Reiner come to mind). Music played accurately is not necessarily boring, but music played boring is boring. It is our job to find the music and to flesh it out.
I have also heard some of the best known clarinet virtuosos of today add their "interpretations" to a work that makes me sick in the distortion of what is on the page.
FWIW- I fell in love with the Copland after hearing BG's recording. I love its charm and simple straight forward approach. It is probably still one of my favorites.
