Only if you take life too literally. I think it's more true to Mozart if you try to play it similarly to how he would, and that includes a lot of improvisation. I wish more orchestras could get their head around that and try something new (in the sense of not drudging along with the sheet music.

And his music loses all his original feeling when someone plays his compositions with improvisation.

"Original feel" as far as the plain, unornamented Mozart compositions is a bit dull if I'm being honest. Plus it's not necessarily a bad thing if the music doesn't remain stagnant, because it keeps the music alive. I guess whether that's a good thing depends on the person, but I say that it is.
