I wonder if this type of discussion went on at the time the piano was introduced.
The truth is music and instruments are evolving all the time.
Who knows what musicians or others will be playing in fifty years time.
I bet this type of discussion will be going on then to.
There was an Australian composer I can't recall his name who spent his lifetime trying to find a way of playin his music without an orchestra because he considered the musisians got in the way of his music.
He would be in his element now.
