I wish I could remember the classical composer who said he would not dream of writing the solo part for ( the great artist I can't remember) the composer might have been Beethoven, or some one as prominent ,because I came across the quotation back in the sixties as a musically poorly informed teenager.. I remember it because I wanted to give my teacher grief for having to play what was written. It appears I wasn't the easiest student.
I understand the point is pretty worthless without facts, but ti seems to imply that some of the classical parts were "head arraignments" such as used by the count Basie band in the early days, where no written arrangements were used , the knew the tune and played it the way it sounded as it should at the time, solo spots included.if what I suppose is correct, in an age where or could read of write the local language , it is pretty easy to imagine how improvisation in classical music was discarded as time passed . If to ever was there, I not a historian. just used to be a kid with a smart mouth.
