@Allison said,”Your use of the word “reader” in context of musical performance is perplexing at best. To correctly interpret a piece of music, based on the composer and period, has absolutely nothing to do with “reading,” in any sense of the word.”
Really? What term would you use to define the job of the orchestral player as management sees it? (Distinct from a section leader, a conductor, or a soloist).
