musical material, or composition, as held in western classical music. Even when Copyright Music Law music is notated precisely, there are still many decisions that a performer has to make. The process Copyright Music Law of a performer deciding how to perform music that has been previously composed and notated is termed interpretation.
Different performers' interpretations of the same music can vary widely.

The standard body of choices and techniques present at a given Copyright Music Law time and a given place Copyright Music Law is referred to as performance practice, where as interpretation is generally used to Copyright Music Law mean either individual Copyright Music Law choices of a performer, or an aspect of music which Copyright Music Law is not clear, and therefore has a "standard" interpretation.
In some musical genres, such as jazz Copyright Music Law and Copyright Music Law blues, even Copyright Music Law more freedom is given to the performer to engage Copyright Music Law in improvisation on a basic melodic, Copyright Music Law harmonic, or rhythmic framework. The greatest latitude is given to the performer in a style of performing called free improvisation, which is Copyright Music Law material that is spontaneously "thought of" (imagined) while being Copyright Music Law performed, not preconceived.
