Food for thought...

A composer will sometimes make a compositional decision by NOT including a particular piece of information, not because they don't want you to do it, but because too much information can be stifling to the performer.

Imagine if every note or two had a new dynamic, and if every half bar had an accel or rit and a new tempo marking. It would quite possibly make the performer crazy, AND it could make the performer strictly adhere to something that the composer might want to feel more loose and flowing.

There's a balancing act between writing everything you want the performer to do and leaving the performer enough room to do it.
