It depends what you're trying to do, but the music always comes first, because well, what else is there to do?!
Even if a passage requires rigorous working-out in extremely small snippets, those snippets should be *how you want the music to sound in context*. In other words, don't just practice sixteenth notes any old way. Practice them the way they should sound in the piece of music.
Once technique is less of an issue, music-making is simply the process of using learned vocabulary into appropriate combinations. Then, the player can play the phrase in an infinite number of (correct) ways.
Unfortunately some players practice it incorrectly many times, and then hope all goes well in the concert, or that they will be "inspired."
How sad.
