Interesting question and a thousand thank yous for breaking the monotony of ligatures, reeds, etc. A bit of my own background: I'm a professional player with a good background in theory (music and lit) currently completing a dissertation that looks at the various uses of music in Joyce's Ulysses.
I don't see the interpretive acts of a conductor as all that different from a clarinet player (but perhaps the clarinetist needs to be a bit more egalitarian dealing with colleagues). When you form an interpretation of the Brahms Sonatas, for instance, are you then sick of them?
Though as I've learned more about music, some pieces/composers are less interesting to me. I don't particularly care to listen to Strauss's tone poems (his operas, however, I find incredibly beautiful); the trade off, of course, is that I've "gained" some other composers, like Chopin and Schumann. But to me, that process has to do with expanding my musical intelligence and not so much with the act of interpretation.
