Music is a living thing and just because it was written long ago or yesterday doesn't mean it can't be interpreted in a fresh and amazing way today. That's why live music is so thrilling because art is being created right in front of you. It will never be performed exactly the same way and it's new at that moment. Nice Note Adam. :) Yay! you’re thinking like an artist/musician and hit the nail right on the head.
