A piece of classical music is not a static data structure that can be compressed and sent over a channel.
Classical musicians don't recreate pieces, they actively create them. The fact that scores allow different interpretations is a feature, not a bug.
There is no definitive interpretation, and there is no "semantic problem" to "solve." And there is a lot more involved than playing the right notes at the right times in the right order.
Not even a performance by the composer is definitive.
