This would imply that the recorded disc or the score
is more important the performance itself. learning the
craft of an instrument is a conceptual form as is the
performance.

You'll have to explain what you mean by the "real
object" in, for example, music.

I would call his art "acting" or "politics" rather
than music ... but none of it produces any "real
object" so none of it's valid anyway I suppose.
