From: Mike Will
Subject: Soloist's Freedom

There have been several enlightening replys regarding
my question about "classical" (whatever that means, as
Douglas points out) degrees of freedom--room for
expression and interpretation. I appreciate the
feedback, and it doesn't fall on deaf eyes(?).

Anyway, it got me to wondering if there's a difference
between a soloist's freedom of expression and
interpretation vs. those of an accompaniest. Are
there fewer degrees of freedom there? Less room for
rhythmic, dynamic, or phrase variation? Maybe this
also applies to ensemble playing, like a horn section
or quartet.

I'm only asking about _fewer_ degrees of freedom--not
dismissing the freedom of expression and
interpretation of those not the soloist, but wondering
about the distinction between the freedom of the
soloist and the freedom of the non-soloist, if any.
