Yes, that's a given. But what if you are an intermission pianist, or taking
a solo with no rhythm back-up? Or what about a strolling violinist etc.

And what if a band is reading the dots and playing the same notes for the
500th time with a re-creation band? Are you then just repeating what you
said last night, and the night before, etc?
