For example, the vast differences in the style and tone between Mozart and Debussy tell me that I must make sure that the piano will not only acommodate both but will at the same time allow the pianist to maximize each. Just as we make compromises in our tuning, we then also make compromises in our voicing. Studying the scores is just another tool I use to strive for that goal. Gina Carter PS I just read Horace's (see note below) reply to your question. It reminded me, not unfavorably, of how much of an apprentice I will always be. Learning is such a wonderful experience. Thank you Horace and List. (Note) to read, Horace's first reponse. His second reply much more clearly explains what I attempted to say above.
