It’s an apt analogy imo
A play might even leave less room for interpretation depending on factors like the personality of the theatre director and how much instruction the composer included with their scores and so on.
Plus, that ability to find that really perfect tone which is universally crucial throughout all genres of music from garage rock guitar hooks to free jazz saxophone to classical even to computer generated drone ... it’s completely make or break and there’s no faking it.
