For some composers, I really enjoy hearing substantially different interpretations of a piece. For example, some violin solos are interpreted in a super precise mathematical way when someone else might pour on the legato sugar when the transcript allows for it. It can radically change the overall feeling of the piece, even while maintaining note-for-note accuracy.
I live for those moments, and learn a lot more deeply about composition by digging into different interpretations of pieces that I enjoy most.
Personally, I think it should play a part of early music learning for everyone. Opening up collections like this leads to the ability to learn music at the performance level, instead of just a cursory sprinkling of famous themes played only one way.
