Summary/Abstract: Can musical improvisation contribute to the development of music? Can judicial activism foster the progress of the law? Supporters of musical improvisation underline its popularity among performers of different countries, education, and stylistic views; opponents assert the higher appropriateness of a faithful performance of the piece, in accordance to the composer’s wishes. Similarly, supporters of judicial activism affirm that it serves the needs of an evolving society, whereas opponents contend that in this way the judiciary usurps the role of the legislature.This article tries to shed a light on these issues, citing the opinions of important researchers on these themes.
