French term or phrase: afin de chercher, trouver et libérer ses phrases

One more question from the same text (about musical scores and improvisation in playing music).

Cela a pour but de s'échapper de la partition, en conservant la grille afin de chercher, trouver et libérer ses phrases.

Thanks for the previous help with the first half. Just need help with the phrase at the top. Thanks.

You can do a jazz improv on \"Chopsticks\" or \"The Star Spangled Banner\" (e.g. Hendrix). It\'s not the melody, I don\'t think, but the phrasing, here.
