It took me awhile to understand what she was saying. Over the years, I have learned that what she was referring to was the amnount of effort required to produce the sound that she wanted. She stated that she wanted to play soft passages without having to play with micro-fine key touch and loud passages without having to break her fingers. In short, what she wanted was a piano that did not require extremes when she played. Proper voicing did that for her. Was she still listening to the piano? Yes. But her comments were not on how the piano sounded as how easy it was to achieve the desired sound, ie the touch. FWIW.
