Agree with Karl; a fair amount of ornamentation and improvisation was common and expected for soloists until a good bit through the nineteenth century, so "authentic" performance of pieces from that time should probably include some of it. Although Rossini once said to a soprano who had just sung one of his arias, "That was very nice, madam. Who wrote it?" Microtones maybe not so much, though good quartets take liberties with the even tempered tuning system. Whether we as twenty-first century players do it in a way that's appropriate to the pieces we're playing, though, is the important question, and one that really good performers answer in a lot of different ways.
