It is a nice piece rendered well.The flow of water shown at the beginning of the video tells it all.The water flows quietly and runs along the stream.So is the music.Thanks for posting.

Quite correct, and that is why we as musicians matter. Music can be played correctly and if it doesn't have natural sounding dynamics it will fall flat. often times musicians at 'master level' reinterpret dynamics, tempo and re-orchestrate music interpreting it. After all music is a living thing not merely a science but an art.

With this logic it would be correct to say that once it has been done 'the way it is written' there would be no point in anyone else playing the piece. Good and great musicians respect the composer's wishes but also add their own voice to a musical interpretation. Listen to Segovia, Bream, Russell, Isbin etc. etc. playing the same piece and say that 'you won't recognize the difference'. The difference is what makes a musician interesting and not a robot.

Remember that classical guitarists of his level have the duty to play a song the way it is written, so that you won't recognize the difference of 1 song preformed by different musicians. That's how you recognize good classical guitarists, or any instrument for that matter.
