Bob can count on it. I think that all the magic of a work is in the score,
and the performer is the vehicle for transmitting that magic to the
listener. But, I have no idea what percentage contribution should go to
the performer/interpretation. I guess it would be highest when you felt
that only one performer delivered all the magic of a musical work.
