Excellent point, Dusty.
In college we had Misha Dichter (fairly well-known concert pianist) come in for a master class, and one of the grad students played a Schubert impromptu well, but much too romantically. Dichter said something to the effect of "this isn't a Chopin nocturne. There's no need to force romanticism out of it, just play."
