Brycon, your paradox of premiering a new work is well received at my end!
Aside from communication with the new music's composer about intent, I'm not sure I have the skills to be any premier's official representative! lol
Still more, any attempt I might take interpreting a well known piece, not hearing it played by others prior, I'm afraid might fall so far out of generally recognized bounds, even allowing for a window of historic variation among artists.
Your thoughts about listening to the music resonate (no pun intended) well with my own pedagogy. Armed with getting many a high school player ready for auditions to festivals I will stop them mid piece and talk about what story I imagine in my mind is going on in the music, as if it was an opera, asking them for their opinions as well. As they play they may here me say, "tell me a story!" should I feel them getting to close to playing some MUSAK elevator music rendition that simply hits the right notes.
I like how Wenzel Fuchs talks about story telling musicality here:

Good talk Brycon.
