"…the possible written elements… are seen as legitimating the music in ways improvisation alone could not…."

Odd. And not just legitimating, but giving stability, authority to, and, consequently, denying the possibility of liberation ("Everyone should/could improvise."). But maybe that's the part of the attraction of Ra, partial, contradictory and frustrating (none of which I mean in a bad way).
