Well, I'm not sure that alone has much utility in drawing the distinction. In the de Lalande with the missing viola part, leaving it out is going to sound different from having it in, most obviously in the parts for strings alone.

I don't see the distinction. The reconstructed viola part might still have been different, no? That means Sawkins solution was unique, and depended on him. Doesn't that make it creative?
Bob Levin reconstructed a Mozart concerto for violin and piano (a few years ago). What came out was something that was one of millions of possible solutions to the problem. Creative? Of course! But still, in it's sense, a reconstruction.
