yeah gardener thats a really good point - I'd forgotten that baroque music was written in the bare minimum for the performers to embellish and show themselves off. (although there is a camp of people who don't agree with that)

Although I have to dispute your point that it gives you more freedom than other periods - what about romantic pieces, where you are invited by the vary nature of it's 'romanticism' to imbue them with your own emotions and improvise and enrich the pieces that you play in order to portray these feelings further?
