what about timbre, balance, dynamics????
a pedal d has a completely different timbre than a low d
the balance is different
the dynamic level gets thrown out of whack
it's fine if this is in new pieces, but what about maintaining the integrity of the original compositions, the fact that that sound was not intended to be heard in the original works.
hmmm?
