Classical music is fine as it is, no need to change. Why should being based on improvisation and unique personal expression be the be-all-and-end-all of analysis? Not everybody wants to play / hear improvised music.

The section you cite does not mention that F. explicitly campaigned against the helix model for a while. Why? If we exclude the option that she deliberately lied about it and publically spoke against the helix model so as to mislead others
