Never forget that when it comes to real classical music all we know is "cover versions".
Imagine following generations of musicians only have the notes and the chords for maybe "Bohemian Rhapsody" and they never ever heard the original. It might be interesting, what they make out of it. But the result will be different.
We will never know, how Beethoven and Mozart really sounded when they played their music.
