Hi Wim, You wrote: <snip>... >Sure, it's impressive to have those added > notes, but how many people > actually play them? You could ask how many people CAN play them. How many people HAVE them to play? Precious few! The normal concert venue has a specific piece of music, written specifically to be played AS WRITTEN. (Woe be unto any concert pianist who might actually add an extra note or two because he might think it sounds better...) I don't own a piece of music for which those "extra notes" are written in the score. Set a few Bose Imperials in a few jazz clubs, TUNE those "extra notes", and stand back and watch. It just might surprise you how much those notes would get used. Just my opinion. (Doesn't make me right, but it's still my opinion...) (I hope this didn't come across with a "smart Alec" tone. I didn't mean it that way. Just meant in a friendly conversation kind of way.)
