[OT] Aural versus ETD tuning training

[David Love]

The sad truth is, and I agree with Avery, pianists tend to be the most
uninformed about their instrument of all the instrumentalists.  It is a
constant challenge to have to explain what and why the piano needs what it
does to perform properly.  I find this to be true even of concert musicians.
Surprisingly, many of the music schools require a course in piano technology
for piano majors.  The last pianist I had a discussion with about this was
telling me quite proudly how she had managed to avoid going to most of the
classes.
