Actually, it turns out more and more that classical music can be interpreted in many ways, and composers at the time were constantly improvising from a written piece with new ideas on the fly. Contemporary musicians created some kind of a cult to classical music and tried to enforce rigorous exact playing when in reality that was not the composer's intentions at all
Basically the same way we did architecture and statues.
