On Musicians

Something I always think about but still don't have a definitive answer to is about where music happens. Who is most responsible for the creation of a great performance? Is it the composer or the musicians? Being a musician is something I can somewhat do. Being a composer, not so much. (I wish.) The composer writes the notes and there is definitely a completely different feel to Beethoven then there is to Tchaikovsky or something. But then Janine Jansen also has a completely different feel than Perlman.
