I'm with you, Len, most of the way but here I'm with moi. The composition
of music is a subjective process (though often spoiled in its purity
when cribbing's involved); the score is the obective creation of the
foregoing; playing the score is subjective. Quod erat demonstrandum,
performance is subobjective.
