 RE: Debussy Rhapsodie

Greg wrote "One has to as a performer be informed by the history, context, and stylistic considerations of any piece, particularly as formidable a work as this one."

WHY I ask you? WHY?

Who says HAVE to look at all this to express something? Why do we HAVE to be contextually or historically correct? I know I'm question the very foundation of art here, but, didn't Einstein say to constantly question everything? This is how I learn, to sharply question everything.

It may be classier, it may deliver a better performance overall, but WHY can't one be selfish and take liberty? WHY are we conforming to what's on the page? Would the composer REALLY care about ONE performance that isn't precisely what he wanted?

Don't get me wrong, I understand completely what you're saying, I just really feel the need to question this because I don't understand why it is a necessity to be so faithful to a composer's intent.
